The city looks oft' towards the heights lately won

For our Alma Mater and each loyal son,

Beholding that fair tower, catches a gleam

Of Beauty enchanted, held fast in a dream;

A dream of past glories and future hright days.

Of noble endeavors that heighten her praise

Of the brave, the undaunted, the chasubled knight,

True son of Loyola, determined to fight

And still to fight failure until he achieved

The promising heights and the plan he conceived!

Ah, say, in the midst of the fury and sound.

Where sham and self-seeking and envy abound

Does a pure heroism exalt us like wine?

Does our just pride ci-y out: "Here's a brother of mine?'

The standard is set. Let our cry be the same

In every crisis whatever we aim.

Rejoicing to feel that our brothers may ride

Whene'er they are called, with the first, side by side;

As when we received the great news from afar —

Ch'rist's Vicar while seeking a luminous star

To beacon and flash in a pathway of truth

From our kindred had chosen the pride of our youth.

Alma Mater rejoiced, sent her son and sent this —

The proud crest he wears : " Vigor in arduis."

Alma Mater, thy dreams of ascendancy grand

Throng with brave hearts that await thy command.

And each sterling heart bears an emblem, some sign

To inspire our glad cry : " Here's a brother of mine ! "

HE Sub Tiirri Staff herewith present to the Class of 1913, the Alumni,
students, and friends of Boston College, the first Year Book ever
published by any class here.

The occasion which prompted us to inaugurate this new activity,
was the Golden Anniversary of the founding of Boston College, and
the dawn of the newer and brighter life, in its worthier home.
Another more personal motive was that we ourselves might have, as
it were, a treasury of the happenings " Under the Tower " during the
four brightest years in our lives, — and possess a lasting record of our
classmates, their achievements great and small, during our close
companionship.

The expectations of our fellows, and the greatness of the occasion,
make us feel the more the imperfection of our work. However, we
frankly state that its greatest claim to praise lies, not in its own merit,
for we realize only too well how deficient it is in that respect, but in
its being the first of its kind here; in its showing to later classes
possibilities of development without which aid they might hesitate
long before venturing upon such unknown waters. As we, its editors,
find in its youth its greatest merit, on the other hand we beg you, its
readers, to ascribe to its youth, and to its youth alone, its many faults.

And you, our classmates, if in years to come you should take this
volume from its dusty resting-place, and by perusing its contents live
over again some of the scenes of these happy days, and enjoy the
pleasures of reminiscence, we will feel that it has accomplished its
purpose.

This book as you view it now is the best possible product of our
abilitj', under the existing circumstances of inexperience and limita-
tions of time. So with charity to all, we submit to you the result of
our labor of love, and will feel in j^our appreciation our ample reward.

HE Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirteen wishes hereby to express its
lasting gratitude to the patrons of the first Year Book of Boston
College, who, appreciating the greatness of the initial cost of such
an undertaking, by tiieir gracious generosity helped to secure for it
more completeness and success. We would be indeed remiss should
we fail to voice our appreciation of the encouragement and coopera-
tion we have experienced from the Faculty in general, especially from
Frs. Gasson and Gcoghan, S. J. To Mr. E. A. Grozier of the Boston
Post and Mr. William Kenney of the Boston Globe we are particularly
indebted for the kind courtesies they extended us. To Fr. De Butler
we owe many of our photographs. To the Stylus also, and last but
not least, to the Class, the committee owe a word of thanks for their
enthusiasm, without which nothing could have been accomplished.

C|)e Olollege Beautiful

By Timothy Wilfred Coakley, '84

Because fact is born of vision, because faith makes all things whole,
We have prayed that our eyes be single and swerve not from the goaL
Look ! On the grass-clad hilltop, where chestnut and maple blow.
And the groping elm-trees yearn to the mother-green below,
Embodied in marble and granite, throned on the lake's clear blue,
Real as the sky and the sunshine, the Dream that we dared is come true.

It is builded, our stately cloister, where Wisdom makes her home.
The stem-like columns flower into arch and sculptured dome.
The pillared halls are vaulted and lofty like the night
And each embrasured window is a rose of rainbow light.
Behold the court of science, and yonder the house of art ;
And higher yet, God's altar, aflame with the Sacred Heart.

Here Goodness, Truth and Beauty are worshipped as one, not three.

And Faith companions Reason ; and Order, Liberty.

Here echoes the mystic Word which only the angels ken ;

Here beckons a Light to the Gentiles. The Rabbi is teaching again.

The children of men are patterned on a God self-sacrificed,

And the circle of life is centered and squared on the Cross of Christ.

In the glowing forge of boyhood, tomorrow is wrought today.

What we think in our hearts, we shall be, we create when we dream or pray.

So we pay our debt to the future, that righteousness may not cease ;

Humanity here is drilled to fight for the Prince of Peace.

Soldiers, equipped, alert, mount guard at the Gate of Truth,

The Company of Jesus, the living fort of youth.

Scholars are they and priests, yet ever, and foremost, chums,

For goodly and great is learning, but love can solve all sums :

And these serve under Him Whom only love can reach

And who came as a friend to friends, since only a friend can teach.

Loyola, we bring by the million recruits for the war you plan.

God's Laity marches behind you. Hear the long acclaim of cur clan ;

We are the stone of the corner, the body of belief.

We rear college and altar. We are the world's relief.

Saints and martyrs and sages, prelates and pontiffs all

They are the answers we offered when we heard the Master call.

Patriarch, prophet and psalmist, to each our lines we trace.

Flesh of our flesh is the beauty that was Mary's virgin face.

Ours is the flock and fold of the spotless Lamb of God;

We gave to Christ the blood that drenched Golgotha's sod.

Life gives and is given forever to foil the miser. Death.

Love is the price of living and breath is spent for breath.

.What yet may we give, dear Lord, that is worthy in Thy sight?

In Thy name, all we have, all we are, we proffer our College tonight.

Lord, hear the prayer of Thy people. At Thy heart we have kindled a star.

Let its radiance grow in the darkness 'till all men sight it afar

And are drawn to the Flame that feeds it, to the Light the world has lacked.

And the shadows pass and the semblance and we face the Eternal Fact.

a ilistorp of Boston CoUtge

HE occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Boston
College is a fitting time to look back into the past and review the
remarkable growth of an institution which is now completing a half-
century of life. It is especially fitting that the class of 1913, the binding
link which unites the old home with the new, should tell this graphic
story of fifty years of progress and achievement.

The Jesuits came to Boston in 1847 at the invitation of Bishop
Fitzpatrick and they settled at St. Mary's in the North End under the
leadership of Father McElroy, S.J. The rapid growth of the parish
and the desire of Father McElroy to open a school for boj^s made it
imperative to purchase additional property. Accoi'dingly land was
purchased on Harrison Avenue for the future Boston College on
August 1st, 1857. The untiring efforts and the willing sacrifice of
Father McElroy were rewarded by the completion of the buildings
in 1859.

The old college building was somewhat smaller than the present
one on James Street. At that time it embraced that portion which is
now the central portion of the later building, so that those rooms
occupied by the college classes at present, the library and the chapel,
were added several years later. Opening in 1860 as a house of studies
for members of the Jesuit Order, it did not assume its present character
until 1864, when on September 5th, a score or more of day scholars
were enrolled in its catalogue.

On April 1st of the previous year the college received its charter
from the State of Massachusetts, with the power to confer degrees,
except Medical degrees. The aim and purpose of the training at
Boston College has always been " not proxiinately to fit the student

for some special employment or
profession, but to give him a gen-
eral, vigorous, and rounded devel-
opment as will enable him to cope
successfully even with the unfore-
seen emergencies of life." The lay-
ing of a solid sub-structure in the
mind for any super-structure of
science, professional or special, also
for the molding of correct moral,
civil, and religious principles, is in
short the purpose of all Jesuit
teaching. To this end a prescribed
course was offered. The curriculum
included instruction in the classical
languages, poetry, rhetoric, and a
tiiorough training in philosophy.
Since that time, the course has been
somewhat varied.

Father Bapst, the famous victim
of the Knownothing outbreaks in
Maine, assumed charge in 1862 and
remained as the head of Boston
College until 1869. He was suc-
ceeded by Father Fulton, who is
probably the best known Jesuit
Boston College has ever had as its
President. Famous for his spark-
ling wit and his ability as an organ-
izer, his name is still upon the lips
of many Boston Catholics. During
his long term of office he founded
the Young Men's Catholic Associa-
tion, which has since become a
worthy adjunct of the college.

Although the attendance at the
College in the early days was very
small, we find that the students
were very active in athletics and
dramatics. The Shakespearean
dramas, as well as farce comedies,
were frequently presented by the
students.

Previous to 1877 no degrees were
conferred, for the course was in-
complete until that year. But in
June of that year degrees were con-
ferred for the first time upon the
graduates. In September, 1879, the
original classical course was some-
what extended and was made to
include English, Sciences, and Mod-
ern Languages. It seems hardly
credible that forty years ago tlie
combined attendance at the High
School and College was less than
150. The youth of those days were
just as anxious for holidays as their
children, for the records show thai
when the student body reached tlie
150 mark a holiday was sought from
the Reverend President.

When Father Fulton ended his
term as President in 1881, until his
return in 1888, the college had dur-
ing the interval four ditterent lead-
ers. Fathers O'Connor, Broussard,
Stack, and Russo. During the terms
of these presidents many activities
were initiated. The true life of no
school is bounded by the chart-
hung walls of its class-rooms. Mu-
sic, Literature, and Athletics re-
ceived a special cultivation. The
football and baseball teams of the
80's won many games on gridiron
and diamond from the colleges and
universities of the East. Societies
of many kinds, rooted in the spon-
taneous enthusiasm of the pupils,
sprang into existence under the
prudent encouragement of the fac-
ulty. Parliamentary discussion and
the drama found many votaries.
The Stylus, which was founded by

the class of 1884, reflected the general culture and work of the students.

Father Fulton returned as President in 1888. The following year
an addition was put on the old building to meet the growing needs
of the college. Attracted by the thorough intellectual and moral
training received in this institution, the number of scholars was steadily
increasing. In 1890 there were 290 students in both schools. The
Boys' Debating Society became known as the Fulton in 1890 and at
this time inaugurated the practice of public debates. Among the list
of prize winners we read the names of many men who have become
a prominent phase of the college life. The dramas produced under
Professor Willis have received the highest praise from the dramatic
critics. These years were fruitful in other honors for the college.
The athletic contests of the 90's ring with nothing but victories for
Maroon and Gold. Holy Cross and Boston University were no match
for the sturdy athletes from Boston College, who like Caesar cut
through forest and impassable ways and chronicled nothing but
victories in their contests.

Father Fulton was succeeded by Father Devitt who held the office
of President from 1891 to 1894. His successor was Father Brosnahan.
The steady growth of the college made it necessary in 1898 for the
Young Men's Catholic Association to seek new quarters. In that year
the combined attendance had swelled to 450. During the period from
1898 to 1906, under the leadership of Fathers Mullan and Gannon,
the college was expanding steadily. In 1905 the attendance was proxi-
mitely 600.

On the 6th of January, 1907, when Father Gasson assumed the
presidency of Boston College the new era of expansion began. In the
past the growth while a healthy and a virile one was at the same time
a slow one. But the new President, a tireless educator, whose existence,
energy, and talents are given entirely to the training of youth, inaugur-
ated new ideas and new methods in the College. Assisted by a
brilliant corps of professors, every department began to show evidence
of remarkable growth. In 1909 the Freshman class numbered nearly
100, which is in striking contrast to 150 in the four classes in 1900.
The energetic efforts of Mr. Cox, S. J., contributed to the molding of
the Marquette Debating Society into an excellent club, whose teams
have won two decisions from outside colleges. Much credit is due the
same man for the formation of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament.
In this society several students are enrolled, and it has for its end
increased devotion to Christ in Holy Communion. In 1910 the first
home night was held and it has resulted in forming a closer connec-
tion between the Alumni and Undergraduates. Intercollegiate debating

agf2r S>ub3Iurrt

has become a distinctive feature of college activities within the last
three years. Athletics have been revived and under suitable instructors
our teams are among the best in the state.

This remarkable growth within the small compass of two years
convinced Father Gasson that the building was fast becoming too small
for the expansion of the College. Besides, the President had alwaj's
cherished the idea of separating the College from the High School.
Accordingly, in 1907 forty acres of land were purchased at Newton.
The call of Father Gasson for aid was responded to cheerfully by
thousands. The spontaneous generosity of the Alumni, the Young
Men's Catholic Association, and the Catholics in genei-al, shows that
the new project was heartily approved.

Early in 1908 a contest was started in which several prominent
architects competed. A prize of one thousand dollars was offered to
the firm which submitted the best set of plans for the new college.
The first prize was awarded to Magcnnis and Walsh of Boston. The
remarkable possibilities of the site instantly fired the artistic imagin-
ation. It was early decided that the scheme should be a Gothic ,one.
The plan suggests a mcdia?val cathedral, arranged in longtitudinal and
transverse axes with the recitation building, surmounted by a Gothic
tower, the dominating center of the group. The style of architecture
embodies the historic sentiment of college life. Those who have visited
Oxford, Bryn Mawr, or Princeton, know the charming academic flavor
of the collegiate gothic.

The plans also call for faculty, science and athletic buildings,
together with a beautiful students' chapel. The campus will occupy
the east side of the hill with a broad outlook on the reservoir. One
section has been reserved for a football field and diamond. In another
part will be the quarter-mile cinder track, and 220-yard stretches for
dashes. An ideal spot has been selected for the erection of a magnifi-
cent stadium.

Since the first spade of earth was turned for the construction of
the first building the attendance at James Street has been increasing
in leaps and bounds. In 1911 the catalogue showed that there were
over one thousand students in the combined schools. During the
present year it grew larger so that evei-y available place is used to
accommodate the students. The present enrollment is 363 in College
— 837 in High School.

The recitation building is now completed. Situated on a broad
eminence and flanked by most artistic scenery it stands out tall and
magnificent. From its class-rooms the most exquisite panorama meets
the eye. Close at hand is the reservoir skirted on all sides by beautiful

ubSurrt Pagp2

shade trees and delightful walks. Off in the distance are the neighbor-
ing cities of Cambridge and Brookline, and beyond the hazy blue
outline of the hills which encircle the suburbs. The building itself is
made of brightened rubble-stone. The Roman arch occupies a con-
spicuous place in the adornment of the building. In the frequent
windows of the rotunda the arch is used to perfection. The filigree
work and delicate tracery on the tower are distinctive features of the
building.

During the present year Boston College has added another depart-
ment to its course of instruction. Father Fortier, who came to Boston
in October, began a number of evening classes. They are open to
men holding A. B. degrees or to those who have not completed their
college course. Instruction is given in medical and legal ethics, and
higher philosophy. Those who complete this course receive an A. M.
degree. The instruction in the other class embraces a course in schol-
astic philosophy, and its graduates receive an A. B. degree.

Today Alma Mater is on the threshold of another half-century
of existence. Under what auspicious circumstances she begins the
journey! With her students occupying the beautiful building just
completed, and surrounded by all the beauties nature could offer,
the expansion is bound to be a vigorous and healthy one. The fifty
years which arc over were years of struggles and hardships. The
location on James Street had necessitated certain restrictions in
expansion. Lack of facilities and room have retarded the growth
of the college in the recent past.

With the completion of the first building at University Heights
the expansion is bound to be rapid and extensive. On that artistic
eminence is reared a new citadel of learning, a monument to the cause
of Catholic education. Here the sons of Catholic parents will learn
the lessons that will make them better men and better citizens, proud
of their faith and proud of their country. To her, the class of '13,
the youngest graduates from the new home, will turn for counsel.
To Alma Mater we will turn to inspire us to the love of all that is
high, true, and noble.

Fittingly indeed may we end this tale of Boston College's past,
by quoting the simple words which on the informal opening of the
new college last month thrilled the souls of its Seniors. Never shall
we forget that scene; we, the proud heirs of the past, led simply into
the possession of our glorious dwelling by the learned yet humble
Jesuit by whose untiring efforts this massive pile was erected. He
led us into the rotunda, gathered us around him, and there with the

a g p 2 9

S' ab ®urrt

warm and brilliant raj's of a welcoming sun streaming down upon
him like the benediction of God, he said to us : " Gentlemen of the
Class of 1913: This is a historic moment. We now informally take
possession of this noble building, which has been erected for the
greater glory of God — for the spread of the true faith, for the
cultivation of solid knowledge, for the development of genuine science,
and for the constant study of those ideals which make for an exalted
personal uprighteousness and for lofty civic integrity.

" May this building ever have upon it the special blessing of the
Most High, may it ever be a cause of joy to the Church and her
illustrious rulers, a source of spiritual and intellectual strength to the
faithfid, a protecting bulwark against all foes for the State of which
we are justly proud, and for the country which we all most ardently
love."

T is with pride tliat wc look upon the ever increasing ranks of our
Ahnnni. As yet they are comparatively few in number, but what tliey
lack in this respect they more than make up for in the strength of
devotion that they have ever manifested towards their Alma Mater.
They have not grown strong under her sheltering wing and then like
ungrateful children, turned their backs upon her forever. Not they!
They have taken all that she had to give and been deeply thankful
for it. They have watched with anxious eye the days of her weakness;
they have labored under difficulties, and toiled unceasingly that she
might grow; and it is only through their efforts that her future has
been assured. They have made plans, thej^ have wrestled with pro-
blems that might well prove the grave of a less noble cause, and now
as a result of it all a majestic building towers in stately splendor at
the beautiful University Heights. Not satisfied, they have gone a step
further; they have resolved to raise the huge sum of $100,000 and
present it to Father Rector on the day of the dedication of the new
building. Our most esteemed alumnus. His Eminence, William Cardinal
O'Connell, has blessed their plan, and in behalf of higher Catholic
education, has seconded his approval by the bountiful gift of $1000.
They are noble of heart, these members of the Alumni Association
and of the Boston College Club of Cambridge. Loyal and energetic
citizens, uprighteous in their dealings with their fellow men, and suc-
cessful in their chosen fields of activity, they have won the esteem
of all who know them. Marked by a spirit of progressiveness in behalf
of the right and a spirit of generosity, they are dear to Boston College.
And we, the members of this year's Senior Class, who are soon to join
their ranks, have all their plans at heart and wish them success in all
that they may undertake.

''^omt Nig!)t"

T is everything tliat the words suggest. It is that night of nights, that
comes but once a year, wlien all the sons of Boston College, who have
gone out from her portals, return home once more and renew to their
Alma Mater their pledges of filial devotion. It is the only occasion in
the year that the three elements of Boston College assemble in friendly
intercourse; Faculty, alumni, and students are there and all unite to
make the evening one to be remembered in the annals of the College.
Class-mates, long separated, meet once more; the Faculty and Alumni
renew acquaintances; and the new students among the undergraduates
are given a chance to extend the circle of their friends and thus do
away with the reticence that is naturally theirs among strangers. Then,
too, at these " Home Nights " one gets to love Boston College moi-e and
more: the seeds of loyalty and devotion are scattered broadcast and
the harvest is shortly forthcoming.

The entertainment pi-ovided on these occasions for the past two
years was of the highest type of the humorous. No one, who has
attended the " first and possibly last " commencement exercises of
" Notsob College " can forget the merriment that that performance
gave rise to. Mr. Daniel Gallagher, President " periculo facto " of
" Notsob College " deserves great credit for his masterly superinten-
dence of details. Shall we ever forget the whirlwind of laughter that
greeted his announcement at the last " Home Night ", that " Notsob
College was finished both substantially and accidentally"? And the
debate of the "Full-tone Debating Society"! Such eloquence and
brilliant oratory! Every argument was so " to the point"; tlie debaters
were clear in their exposition of the question, admonishing the
audience " to be sure that they got the point well into their heads ",
and reminding them that the " point at issue was over the heads of
the women ". And the rebuttal was very "" punc-tilious ", to be sure.
Each debater was extremely careful to argue only on the question
and on nothing else; and in this they succeeded — pretty well.

The wit and humor running through the whole affair was brilliant
and everybody was delighted. We hope that the success of the affair
will be duplicated at our next " Home Night ".

This little account would be indeed incomplete unless was spoken
a word of praise and appreciation of Mr. Ignatius W. Cox, through
whose well-directed effort this reorganization of the alumni was begun
and completed.

Ci)e BSoston College Clut of Cambritise

ROM the verj' earliest days in the tale of Boston College, the Catholic
community of Cambridge has had representation in its student life.
Year after year, earnest, clear-headed and enthusiastic j^ouths have
joiu'nej'ed froni the north side of the Charles seeking and finding
education and moral strength to meet courageouslj^ the difhculties
of life's pathways. The clergy, the professions of medicine and law,
the business arena number these students in their ranks, and one of
these Cambridge boys has had tlie distinctive privilege of serving as
President of his Alma Mater. The Cambridge contingent, small at
the beginning, has grown with the growth of the college until in the
present year of 1913 it comprises almost one-fourth of the entire
student body. This creditable representation is by no means for-
tuitous but must be ascribed to the excellence of Boston College in
the first instance, and then to that rarest of virtues — happily nurtured
in Cambridge, — ap})reciation.

In the passage of the years it became more and more evident that
the bringing together in social and fraternal intercourse, of former
students ought to result in increasing and lasting benefit to the college
itself and be a prolific source of satisfaction to all. Some adventitious
circimistance was needed, however, to serve as an incentive to organ-
ization, and the decision of the college authorities to begin the
erection of the new college at "University Heights" answered that
purpose.

It is not known who first conceived the idea of the Boston College
Club of Cambridge. Indeed, the desirability of such an organization
seems to have been brooding, or rather seething, in the minds of many
former students, and thus when the call for support in the erection
of the new Boston College was issued it received a ready response
from Cambridge. Thereupon the Club was formed in the belief that,
through its activity, this support might be more effective.

On April 30, 1908, a meeting was held at St. Mary's Gymnasium at
which the organization was effected. The By-Laws declare that " the
object of the Club is to foster in all legitimate and practical ways the
interests of Boston College."

The membership is of a two-fold character, — a regular member-
ship limited to any person of good character who has attended with
credit one or more courses at Boston College; and an associate mem-
bership open to any man, approved by the Board of Directors, who

g>ubJFurrt ^agpBfi

shows himself to be in favor of the object of the Club, by contributing,
through the Club, to the Boston College Building Fund. Beginning
with a membership of fifteen it now numbers on its rolls over one
hundred and twenty-five men, — sympathizers with the purposes and
aims of the college.

Throughout its existence the Club has aimed to keep in active
touch with its objects. In all movements for the furtherance of the
college its members have taken an honorable part, and have given
the strongest evidence of a willingness to assist and encourage.

On the occasion of the first garden part}' held at the College
grounds, in June, 1908, shortly after the organization, it was repre-
resented, and to such an extent that the College treasury was richer
by $1100.00, that being the largest sum returned by any organization.
Again, in 1909, the Club led all competitors by a net return of $950.00,
and in 1910, its members had the privilege and pleasure of transmitting
$1050.00. In 1911 and 1912, substantial amounts have likewise been
sent to the College treasury.

In the belief that the literary and dramatic features of Boston
College were worthy of particular notice, the Club has always dis-
plaj^ed a sjiecial interest in the Shakespearean plays at the College.
The pi'oduction of " Hamlet " in 1909 was so noteworthy that a request
was made to Father Gasson to allow its presentation in Cambridge.
This request being granted, for the first time in the history of Boston
College, her students were permitted an opportunity to show their
histrionic abilities outside of the College stage. Aquinas Hall in Cam-
bridge, the largest auditorium in the cit}^ was placed at the disposal
of the Club, and an audience which taxed its capacity favored the
young players.

The success of this effort prompted another request to the
authorities in 1910, when " The Merchant of Venice " was most success-
fully presented. Through these opportunities the people of Cain-
bridge became educated to a belief in the capacity and ability of
Boston College students, and it is confidently anticipated that much
interest has been aroused in College affairs.

In all its undertakings, social or financial, the Club has been
assisted by the many ladies whom it has been privileged to include
among its most earnest supporters. Each recurring call upon them
for support has seemed to only increase their splendid enthusiasm,
and no small part of the Club's success depends upon their cooperation
and efforts.

This, in brief, is the story of the Cambridge Club. Conceived in
a desire to assist Alma Mater, it has not forgotten its purpose. May
it not long be alone among Boston College district organizations for
the purpose of aiding " in all legitimate and practical ways the
interests of Boston College."

Marquette (i, 2) Fulton (3, 4)

It gives us great pleasure, gentle
reader, to introduce to you our dear
friend and classmate, Edmund Russell
alias Aloysius Boucher. This name
was added by our Psychology Pi-of,
despite Ed's opposition to Latin text-
book, which opposition succumbed
finally to certain " a Fortieri " argu-
ments. Ed takes particular pleas-
ure in art; this predilection was not
inborn in him but originated rather
precipitately. One morning he made
the acquaintance of a fair student of the Normal Art School, who claims
to have come originally from Hingham; and ever since Ed has seen
fit to act in the capacity of critic of her paintings. Ed is also somewhat
of a connoisseur of architecture and claims that in Boston there are
no better examples of beautiful architecture than the annex to the
Girls' High School, the Franklin Square House, and the Posse Gym-
nasium. These he pauses frequently to admire and comment at length
on their intrinsic beauties. He has likewise dabbled in
literature, being the author of a very interesting work
entitled " A Vision in Blue," or " The Mysterious Lady from
Fitchburg," a romance in which we are prone to believe
Ed himself has played the leading role. We make no
prediction as to Ed's future — we leave that to the Class
Prophet — but we have our own opinion, based on Ed's
many and wistful glances at the august buildings on
Lake St., Brighton.

Associate Editor Sub Turri (4)

Look not, or critics, witli disdain
upon these benign I'eatures for
Freddie is not as simple as he looks!
The childlike innocence, which you
note playing about his features, is
onh^ assumed for more reasons than
one. In reality, however, he is the
real live wire of the class. We first
gazed upon Fred's saintly counten-
ance at the beginning of the second
term of Junior year. Prior to that
time Fred had pulled through Holy
Cross where he intended finishing with "magna cum laude "
honors had he had control over his stomach. Alas! that jiart of
" Brad's " anatonry failed to work in harmony with the cranium. Hence
our daily glimpses of " Kink's " aforesaid phj'siognomy. " Glimpses "
is right, as Fred barelj' comes in during Ethics, sits in the
last row in Psychology, in the first seat in Astronomy, and
then disappears. Fred's specialties are numerous and char-
acteristic. His list of specialties being too lengthy, we can
only mention the most prominent. Chief among these are
his love (?) desire (? ?) and joj' ('? ? ?) in mental work of
the most abstract and philosophical kind, as proved by his
serious expression and the number of text-books carried at
all times but generally on entering the class-room in the
morning. That Fred is a shark in Astronomj^ goes without
saying. His " quick and correct " answers in this line prove
our assertion. As sub-president, F. W. Brady is without a
peer. Truly another Solomon ! Incidentally it is partly due
to him that this arduous undertaking of ours came to be
realized. Concluding this epitaph, let us add that outside
these good qualities, " Kink " has the extreme defect of being
a jolly good fellow.

Winning a scholarship to B. C, Tom

lege fresh from the classical atmos-
phere of Boston Latin School, nor has
the atmosphere been entirely dissi-
pated during his presence here. As
a Freshman he helped Davis of Lynn
to pitcli his famous no-hit, no-run
game by striking out three times. But the field, on which he preferred
to shine was not that of the diamond, but of the rostrum, always holding
a prominent place in our debating societies, especially during his
Sophomore year. His rhetoric teacher once advised him to recite all
his speeches to his cook before giving them in public, and if they were
plain to her, he need have no fear of his audience not understanding
him. To his vigorous application to this rule — much to the discom-
fiture of the cook — do we attribute
the simplicity and clearness of his
speeches. During his Junior year he
planted the seed for a Progressive
party — long before Roosevelt ever
dreamt of it — but it was either poor
farming on his part, or else an off-
year on his particular product.
Though nursed and guarded by him
for some time, his seed never ripened
into the beautiful plant which he had
hoped to make it. He was an active
member in class affairs, and his
fellow-classmates wish him success in
whatsoever field of endeavor he may
choose to enter.

Festina lente ! Turn not over this
page before liaving read of a friend-
ship tliat obscures the friendship of
David and Jonatlian as the sun out-
sliines the stars. The ditty at the
head of this page expresses the uni-
son which exists between Francis A.
Burke, our present subject, and
Thomas L. Gannon. Cicero would
have written a better " De Amicitia " could he have observed the daily
chats between these two in class. And such chats! Indeed, so soulful
and hearty are they that many a time and oft have they called forth
the professors' ire. Hush! It has even been whispered that they have
on a few occasions been mistaken for the Siamese twins !
Another of Frank's characteristics is his business ability. In
those college activities in which he was interested he has been
largely successful. Credit is especially due to him for his
work as baseball manager. A better schedule than this year's
schedule is hard to find, considering the dithculties which had
to be overcome. His work as chairman of the Intercollegiate
Debating Committee is also very worthy of praise. Frank
is known as a " hustler." Always on the jump, he may be
often seen with a reporter's notebook in hand and scribbling
away. As press-agent he has more than done his share in
putting B. C. on the map. We, his classmates, are all confident
and hope that he will hit his mark.

Bill is a living proof of the fact that
one does not have to be noisj% boister-
ous, or a politician to be popular with
the boys to the extent of being made
Class Secretary — a position requir-
ing much vigilance and care. His
life here has been placid and " far
from the maddening crowd's ignoble
strife." He never troubled trouble till
trouble troubled him — but this j^ear
the class drew him from his solitude
— with absolutely no solicitation on
his part, and thrust upon his shoulder
the activities and worries of an official position. Besides this. Bill has
the qualities of a good student as offered to our contemplation in
their ideal perfection in the person of Doc Phelan, but not to the same
extent as our Beadle. He does absolutely everything in the line of study
and such a distinction deserves special notice in this year-book. He
enjoys the reputation of being the only Secretary who has not been
obliged to change his minutes after submitting them to the class for
approval. One reason we could advance for this phenomenon is our
confidence in the correctness and accuracy of the same. Another is
that the class has been too busy to bother about them at all — being
more interested in what the Future holds for us than
what the Past has handed us. Bill's motto seems to
be, " I meddle with no man's business but my own " —
a very good one, as the class's giving into his
hands the records of its business, proves. Still our
advice to Bill is to make a little more noise .

The " Psychology of the Spitball " is his favorite study. Often he

the " Sage of Lowell " is Moloney's

from uncertain, a great future in fact,
is already assured him. For a well
known politician is reported to have
said that Mr. Moloney will make him
his secretary when Joe becomes
Mayor of Boston. For his future
work Tom has well prepared himself,
having a definite aim in all his
studies. His purpose in attending
the Italian class is to act as door-
keeper and frequently draws many encomiums from Fr. Brett for the
quiet way in which he performs this duty. Ho attends the Astronomy
class to cooperate with Fr. Cusick in keeping order in the back row.
He is a favorite with Fr. Cusick, who not seldom delays in the middle
of an explanation to send Tom on various errands to Fr. Green. The
reason for Tom's presence in the remaining
classes is not yet quite clear to the editors.
But in the study of Ethics Tom is " there."
We don't exactly know why Fr. Brett
placed him " there," but we suspect it was
because Tom was inculcating " sotto voce "
too many false doctrines in his neighbors.

Newport, R. I., was put on the map
when on the second day of June in
the year 1891, John Patrick Curley,
artist and literary genius, made his
debut into this world of trouble. John
is an artist by nature, as we have it
from good authority that the first
thing he did was to draw his breath,
and since then he has been equally
successful in drawing cartoons and
the attention of the ladies. He first
came into prominence as a litterateur
when his beautiful poem on " Autumn " appeared in the Stijhis in his
Freshman year. He still keeps up his literarj' work as one of the
editors of the Stylus, and is now contemplating writing a book, the title
of which is " Study as a Minor Part of a College Course," a subject with
which he is very well acquainted and to which he can do great justice.
Though laying no claim to be an athlete (a thing which we may
attribute to his modest and retiring nature) John is the undisputed
golf champion of the class and could easily find a berth upon the
Varsity baseball team were his other duties less
pressing. As manager of the Varsitj^ football
he showed great executive ability. John
leaning toward astronomy and it is rumorc
during the coming summer he will spend much of
his time in Utica in order that he may the more
easily observe the Mars. John is one man in the
class before whom we can see several most success-
ful futures. He is a Newton Newkirk, as some of
our write-ups show; a Joe Welch, as our memories
recall, and a Bud Fisher, as ovir cartoons testify,
combined, and yet we understand he is going to
follow up neither of these talents. His success as
an advertising man has led him to believe he has
business abilities — so the best of luck to him!

portunity catch him napping in her

mits a propensity for athletics, sur-
passed only by that for oratory and
Italian, which latter is, incidentally,
" some propensity." He is also on in-
timate terms with Shakespeare and
secured special permission from the
author, (in a " Midsunnner Night's Dream") to play the role of
Macduff in the 1912 production of Macbeth. If you would spend a
quiet evening with Jim, you might get him started on " The Value
of Oratory to the College Man," but if you would talk of " La Lingua
Italiana to him, get the boss to give you a week's vacation, and
then — " lend him your ears." You may get them back at the
end of the week, but we doubt whether they will
ever again be able to understand English. Many
reasons are ascribed for Jim's all-consuming
devotion to this study. Some assert that he wants
the Italian vote when he runs for Governor, and
some do not hesitate to hint that a dark-eyed,
olive-skinned signorina from sunny Italy is at the
bottom of it all. But ones who believe " nil sine
ratione sufliciente," find a more satisfactory ex-
planation of his zeal in the belief that next
summer will find him going to roam. It seems,
however, that the question must remain unsolved
for the immediate present, for Jim only smiles
mysteriously, with a far-away look in his eyes,
when you ask him the. wherefore.

John blew in from Rockland
early in September, 1909, and bas

can be fonnd there with a choice
gathering of admirers (of his cigars)
which he distributes rather freely, —
not because free to him, but because
there is always more where those
came from.

Jack believes firmly that " Man's-
field " is his home and is a strong

advocate of installing a sub postal station here in the College, since

much of his mail has been delayed in transit owing to lack of this

convenience.

His other occupation is ti-jdng to induce some one

to play billiards, but he is rarely successful as

his skill in this game is well known. The last of

the above nicknames is his, because he spends the

summer at Nantasket. He wishes to take this

medium to deny that that is all he spends there.
The Editors' attempts to obtain anyone to write

up his serious side ended in a fruitless search.

Even Fr. Brett was appealed to, but he gave his

appreciation of Mr. Donovan in a spoken encomium

that we all remember too well to require repetition.
There is one sphere, however, in which it would

be hard to find Mr. Donovan's peer, and that is in

the giddy whirl of a society femininity, and there

is much interest among the fellows to know which

of his many admirers he will finally woo and

To Matt belongs the unusual dis-
tinction of being twice president of
his class, occupying the chair during
our Sophomore and Junior years. His
best known characteristic is his will-
ingness to work for any class activity.
This was made evident in our Fresh-
man j^ear, when his work on behalf
of the Garden Party was a very con-
tributorj' factor to its success. Matt
did not come to us unheralded, for
we had heard of his baskell)all fame, so that he captained the Fresh-
man squad, and led the Varsity team. Besides, as a member of the
backfield of the 1911 football team he played a steady game. To
mention Matt's athletic activities, without saj'ing a word about his
social success, would be doing him an injustice; but, lack of ample
space forbids anything Init the mere chronological record of his leader-
ship of the Sophomore Dance and Junior Promenade, which he
led with the grace of a finished leader of cotillions. Matt is a
good manager, in business! He had obtained such experience
before entering college, that he knew every business " scheme "
and " bogus game " in existence, so that he saved money for
the managenient of the Stylus and Sub Turri, of both of which
he was business manager. It is our opinion that no politician
can surpass Matt — we wonder if that accounts for his occasional
new neckwear, etc.

is far behind them. The other diversion that J. E. F. pursues is one of
even a more elevated nature, in fact he has always shown considerable
interest in uplift work of many kinds. In connection with this study
he attends regularly a course at *x x x x x x (see footnote). There
seems to be a propensity on the part of a certain number of fellows
to try to jolly Fihelly, but Jim may
always keep this book as documentary
evidence to prove that it is an easy matter
to tell who is the better jollier. His motto
is, " What you get for nothing, take, my
boy." We know of no scandal in Jim's
young life other than his going to Chick-
ering's piano factory to get his picture
taken.

Way back in Freshman " Doc "
distinguished himself by scoring the
only touchdown in the Sophomore-
Freshman game and rather enjoying
tlie glare of the spot light, he has
managed to keep himself before the
public ever since. As basketball man-
ager in Sophomore he won the
"stomachs" of the squad by his gen-
erous disbursement of the funds —
of the college. As vice-president of
the Marquette he developed ability as " an arguer." The only way his
arguments can be made to cease to flow is by tying his hands.
Not content with shining in the eyes of such a limited audience as
society and class offered, he mcteored himself into the histrionic heavens
by assuming the part of the " Doctor " in "Macbeth." The performance
gave rise to a class debate on the question as to whether that part was
intended by Shakespeare to be as meniorable in the minds of the
audience as " Doc's " rendition of it made it. It was Curley's contention
that it was Shakespeare's one " Homeric hod " — to introduce comedy
in such a tragic scene. Other Shakespearian authorities in
the class question the propriety of the fanrous " Turkey Trot
exits " featured bj' the Doctor — who, however, defends his
modern interpolation on the ground that the references made
by Shakespeare to " chickens " and " dames " demanded it.
It wasn't till Senior, however, that " Doc " came into his
own — when by an overwhelming vote he was swept into the
vice-presidential chair — there to rule with unruffled dignity
— whenever the fellows could be made quiet enough to listen
to him and were not attracted to another corner of the room
by another competing presiding officer.

Worcester was heralded to the
world when the famous Irish national
bird deposited its onerous impedi-
menta there March 19, 1890, in the
person of " Stretch "; in
his early days he mani-
fiested a love and zeal
for an intellectual at-
mosphere, consequentl}'
his folks vacated the
above town in order
that he might better
the advantages offered

by the Athens of America to this genius in embryo.
Roxbury soon heard of him when he blossomed in the
Mission School; after preparing himself there, he won
a scholarship in the B. C. H. During this time of
intellectual stretching and expansion, his physical
powers were not dormant, for he assumed such a
length that he sleeps in a specially made bed with his
" pedes extra fenestras." After matriculation at
B. C. H., he entered the College proper. He spends
his summer leisure in the capacity of book-agent; the
most disappointing of all employments is that of a
book-agent, yet Joe made good there, which argues
well for his future adventures and subsequent success.
Fitz is an ardent enthusiast of scientific chemistry;
not satisfied with the extensive facilities for this
branch of science extended by the College, he may be
found delving into the mysteries of the science of smells
and bottle-washing at the Franklin Institute three or
more evenings a week. At this institution he has made
himself known and respected on account of his well
correlated knowledge of the theory and practice of
chemistry; he is at his best when delivering a well-
prepared treatise on the " Synthesis of Rubber.".]

Tom was rolled upon the shores of
Orient Heights on the 4th of Januarj%
1890. His earl}' education was re-
ceived in that district, but since he
entered Boston Latin School in 1905
he has been making daily voyages
across to Boston to increase and com-
plete his intellectual training. He en-
tered Boston College in September,
1909, and has never missed a single
day since. In all kinds of weather he
makes that perilous voyage over the
harbor. Tom is the most optimistic
fellow in the class. His philosophy is to keep on smiling regardless of
how much it hurts. Every tinie you look at him he is wreathed in
smiles. Whether engaged in a recitation on the norm of morality or
the origin of ideas, a merry smile is playing upon his countenance.
In conversation he readily wins both professors and classmates to his
side by his magnetizing smile. His success as a debater is no less
attributed to his ability to smile and make others smile. Tom thinks
that he was placed in this world to be a school teacher. If he follows
that profession he is sure of attaining success, for in addition to his
optimism he is endowed with a copious supplj' of knowledge. We
can assure his pupils a much happier existence than
the pupils of Dotheboys Hall enjoyed under its
master, Squeers. His bright and sunny disposition
has won him the friendship of all his classmates and
it will be sure to help him on to success in years
to come.

Tom was born in South Boston and
l)i-ed in the " dearo Nortli End." His
residence in tlie peninsula district was
not of sutficient duration to make him
proficient in Gaelic, but those years in
the North End have stood him in good'
stead in the studj' of Italian. An epi-
curean taste, satiated with macaroni
and bananas, gained for him six feet
of brawn and an infinite capacity of
])rain. Tom has had a somewhat
checkered career; naturally solicitous
for suffering humanity he became, when still a youth, a member of
the St. Vincent de Paul Society and did a great amount of good in
and around Boston. Just ask him to tell a few stories and he'll keep
going until daylight, recounting his experiences as a charity worker.
Ask him about the old days at B. C. those were the happy days!
Then it was that Tom was a star of the first magnitude. In '02 and '03
he played tackle on the Varsity football team, and has the distinction
of being a member of the only crew B. C. ever had — which, however,
did not compete. And some say that he was somewhat of an actor;
took the part of a tent-pole in
Julius Caesar. But softly now!
Sweet music ! If you would

prevail upon him to open that

Fitted by three years of training in

took up the reins of government of
the Golden Anniversary Class, well
able to direct and lead it in its activi-
ities, and it is indeed with pride that
our class points to its president on
all of his numerous public appear-
ances. His best known excellency is
his debating, and in this line, for which he seems to have a special pre-
dilection, he has been more frec£uently in the public eye, we believe,
than any other B. C. debater in our memorj\
The Fulton victories of 1911 over Georgetown
and Fordham are attributed in great part to the
shafts of his wit — the direct forcefulness of his
argumentation and his matter-of-fact, drive-it-
honie way of speaking — which pleases so many.
No one believes that Tom's conquests in his
chosen field of argumentation and law, will
cease with his college course. Each of his class-
mates and fellow-collegians expects to see him
shine and lead in the broader field of profes-
sional life, whether legal or political, as he has
in the limited sphere of our college life. He has
another circle of admirers in the Stylus readers.
His contributions to the College paper have been
consistent, eagerly read, and of such high
literary merit that we have selected several of
his shorter poems to embellish our book. His
editorials have been a means of uniting the
classes in closer bonds of college spirit — be-
sides going far in maintaining the prestige of the
Stylus among the collegiate papers of the
country.

Sutiice it to say that Joe is of an
exceedingly estlietic temperament; he
loves heauty in any of its forms. We
have seen him pick up Horace's " O
Pons Bandusiae " and become enrap-
tured; we have seen him sit for hours
enlhralled by the eloquence of De-
mosthenes; and we have watched his
countenance glow and his eyes shine
as he listened to the exposition of
the beauties of the physical world —
in so far as we were introduced to
them in our course in Physics. But Joe's proper element is Music.
They tell us that Joe had hardly, for the first time, opened his eyes to
the light of day, when he broke forth into a song, the like of which has
never since been heard in Newton. He reijeated his performance at
frequent intervals thereafter, and neighbors used to lie awake, even
into the small hours of the morning, charmed by this infant prodigy.
But it was only recently that he gave his inclination to music a practical
turn and conferred one of the greatest blessings on humanity, by
founding the College Glee Club. He was in the field in Medford one
day with a geological party when a melodious ,

soprano voice filled the air with a beautiful
song; and ever since, rain or shine, Joe has
been scouring the hills and dales of Medford
in search of unconformities.

Associate Editor Sub Turri (4) Class Prophet

September of 1909 brought us this
retiring young man from Newton, and
even after a trying career of four
years in our company he still retains
that quality of retiring, generally
after the third hour once or twice a
week. All seem to agree that the
scene of his actions during these
.stolen moments lies in the richest
town in this country. Some say the
time is spent in locating a favorable
site for a new provision establish-
ment; others say in visiting a few pro-
spective customers. However, as to the exact reason, time will tell.
Rut from this account one must not get the idea that Tom is of a
frivolous nature — far from it. As a student he ranks among the
leaders; while as a literateur, his name and fame are known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico, for he is the exchange
editor of the Stylus and the able manner in which he has raised that
position to one of importance is most creditable. His reputation as
an actor is closely linked with his reputation as champion biscuit-eater
in the tavern scene of Henry IV. As an accomplished
member it is apparent that Thomas finds his place
among the first; so accomplished, indeed, is he, that to
get an idea of the Newtonite's future hopes is an
impossibility. Still we know he will make himself
known and appreciated in whatever path he chooses,
and so our hand goes out to him in his next move.

" Jack " is without a doubt our most
versatile athlete, playing varsitj' foot-
ball and baseball and class track con-
sistently and well. During his Senior
year he expecially distinguished him-
self by the sterling chai'acter of his
playing of right end on the Varsity
football team, of which he was cap-
tain. One of Jack's best assets is his
well-known tenacity of purpose. He
never starts anything that he can't
finish and that he doesn't finish. By this let no one misunderstand us
to say that Jack never starts anything, for as a disturber of the peace,
and a menace to the beaux brummels of the room, he is surpassed only
by Walter Flynn and (nis McMahon, who contain in themselves the
very essence of mischief. That Jack has never entered oratoricals is
a great mystery to his South Boston admirers — and the only reason
that we can ascribe is that too much of his time is required to fulfil his
temperance lecture engagements. The football team and
the citizens of Willimantic bear testimony to his forensic
abilities. On Soph Class Night he was called upon as
a speaker and though entirely unprepared entertained
us all with experiences on his football trips. Jack, j^ou
know, isn't a man that would push himself at all, but
once pushed he's a hard man to stop. Jack's practice
on the organ is limited, not in proficiency but merelj^ in
time and tune, to the Physics hour.

After imbibing all the knowledge to

and A\'as noted for tlie verbositj' of his
remarks before the Marquette Debat-

member. Until his Junior year Irvin
had enjoyed the fullest esteem and
admiration of his fellows, and the horror with which they received the
terrible news that Irvin not only had removed to Chelsea but even
pretended to take pleasure in this living entombment, can hardly be
described. For his indefatigable labors on behalf not only of the College
Track Team, of which he was manager, but also of every athletic
activity at the college, Irvin deserves the greatest credit, and it was
through his cfl'orts that the first swimming team in the histor}^ of the
institution was organized. He also was a prime mover in the indoor
tennis revival, being the winner in the singles and a
member of the successful team in the doubles event. Irvin

was the deep insight into the higher sciences of

calculus, etc., which he acquired here that induced

him to wend his way toward Copley Square, we

do not here venture to state. Suffice it to say that

it is a very smart young man who can survive the

to have distinguished himself there, if we were consulted
we would venture the opinion that he might be mixed on
his prefixes, since we understand that he was nearly ex-
tinguished on the occasion of his first and last appearance
on the gridiron, Ray, besides being one of the class beauties,
is always good company and is in much demand on account
of liis ability as a singer and piano plaj'^er, and taken all
in all he is some " little " entertainer. His voice has also
been heard with telling effect in the Marquette and Fulton,
and almost in this year's College Shakespearean production
of Macbeth. Being tried out in a minor part, he read his
lines with such remarkable intelligence of feeling that he
was urged by experts to essay the role of Lady Macbeth.
He essayed, but found his talents better suited to lighter
parts and resolved to stick to Somerville dramatics. His
most lasting work will be found in the last twenty pages of
this book. It is due to such splendid spirit and energy as
he exhibited that this new class " undertaking " did not

After one year of Vincent, Aquinas
College of Cambridge, Mass., closed

prominence as a collegian was the
winning of the Marquette Debating
Society Medal in his Freshman j'ear.
In his Sophomore year Vincent, play-
ing the important part of Portia in
the College dramatics, earned much
praise by his clever portrayal of this
ditlicult role. Besides his success as a Thespian, his baritone voice has
added to the volume, at least, if not to the melody of the songs of the
Glee Club. During his early years here Vincent experienced much
difficulty in arriving at College on time on account of the poor service
between Cambridge and this city, and we understand that the Subway
is a direct consequence of his work in regard to the solving of the delays
in transit. In his Junior year Vincent played right field for the Phi
Alpha Club, and in the game with Delta Kappa made the feature play,
making a diving stop of a liner while running at full speed, spoiling
a certain home run (and a good pair of trousers) and pulling his team
out of a bad hole. A jealous rival, the center fielder on the same team,
claims that the greatness accruing to Vincent from this catch was
thrust upon him, as at the psychological moment Vincent tripped,
introducing a novel departure in baseball — viz., stopping the ball by
sitting on it.

It was in primary school tliat
James's leaning to poetry first evi-
denced itself. It was while doing
nothing one day — which, bj' the
way, was then his favorite pastime,
that an inspiration came to him and
he wrote his first verse, on " How to
make money withont working for it."
He was heralded thenceforward as a
modern Homer. When later he en-
tered Holy Cross, the whole stndent
l>ody looked at him in awe, for his
reputation as a poet had preceded
him. He was immediately signed
upon the Purple staff' and all looked
forward to its first pul)lication which appeared
October 4, 1910. Five hundred copies were sold — but
for some reason, the second month onlj^ six were sold
(Jim himself buying the six to send home). It seems
then that some one convinced Jim that Harvard pre-
sented greater opportunities to a man of his genius, and
he entered there. A very short while, however, sufficed
to show him his error, and he got off the car at Newton
Street instead of Harvard Square. But in all serious-
ness, Jim is one of the most likable fellows in the Class.
We predict a great future for him. Next year he intends

Although of extremely modest tem-

upon John. For the last four years
he has gallantly lead that small but
otherwise eminent band of loyal
" commuters " from hill to dale, to
drink at this fountain of learning.
Many and divers are his talents, yet
we know him best by his cheerful,
witty, and when occasion requires,
sarcastic oratorJ^ This training
came from editing his High School
paper and from journalistic work in
his home city. We don't wish to encroach on the reserve of the Class
Prophecy, but we cannot help picturing him some day in the halls
of Congress, shaking that historic structure with his rich, orotund and
persuasive tones of which John is full master. Built on Websterian
lines even to the parting of his hair, one easily detects all the other
likenesses, only John has this advantage, that unlike the great
Daniel, he spoke his first speech with brilliant success and was
henceforth hailed as a " comer." But woe to the man who en-
gages John's two-edged sword of sarcasm. We have tried it and
we know. Our sympathy goes out to those future malefactors
of wealth and tariff proteges who will soon become the butt

From Sophomore up to this last
year of college, our class-room has al-
ways been brightened by " Guies-
cppe's " " smile that won't come off."
How, why and whence Joe has ac-
quired this now famous appellation
" Guieseppe " remains as a matter of
study and research for the philolo-
gists of coming genei'ations. We
tiiink that it may have an extrinsic
or intrinsic dependence upon the fact
of our perfect (?) knowledge of Ital-
ian and of Joe's intimate connection
\\'ith the recent scene of the I. W. W.
uprising, for Lawrence, Mass., is
known as Joseph's home town. Mr Mahoney, as he is sometimes
called, has, so we have heard, the capacity and tendency for being a
senator. This noble aspiration of his was revealed at the February
hearing in favor of a reduction of students' railroad rates before the
railroad committee in the State House. Before this eminent body,
Mr. Mahonej^ spoke with such thrilling eloquence that it is whispered
that students' rates will be halved. Joe's other occupation after school
and study hours is tliat of chauffeur and so we have
a right to conclude that some time in the future we maj^

Behold our only other representa-
tive of "Little Rhody"! Verily that
little state has in Frank Mangan a
worthy little Napoleon to reiiresent
it. Francis hangs up his coat in
Pawtucket, R. I., and makes the run
thence daily, for which, methinks,
great praise is due him. For such a
great distance a very early rising is
necessary, something metaphysically
impossible for more than one of our
suburban class-mates. This fact
proves Frank to be a little bear for
work, although suspicion is aroused
by his leaving at twelve-thirty. The

reason for the suspicion? Because we know Mr. Mangan to be a great

friend with the ladies as on one occasion he was seen with several

persons of the other sex. Moral : beware of Frank, all ye who are on

speaking terms with Dan Cupid!

At one fime in Soph Class, he brightened the Physics hour by publish-
ing a daily paper — which may be

said to have been the seeds of a

class book.
Furthermore, as a wit there are few

in the class who can equal him —

and for this reason it is a delight to

listen to his debates — and it has been

noticed that the attendance of the

Fulton is more than fifty on those

occasions.

Frank is now putting all his efforts ■

into the intricate equations of Organic

Chemistry with the probable inten-
tions of specializing therein. This is,

however, a mere guess. Whatever his

intentions may be, we know that he

will attain his goal ! ! !

It was not until Senior year that
there slipped quietly into our ranks
a certain party by the name of Geo.
E. Marin. A shy glance at his age on
his application blank told us we were
about to receive the Class Baby —
Init he turned out to be a baby in
years only. His quiet, retiring ways
— as he never deigned to open his
lips except to solve for us quickh^ and
surely, the most abstruse points in
our Ethics — left him for some time
an unknown quantity. Unknown, but
not unobserved or unstudied, for how
could the suspecting eye of one (or
two or three or ten) keeping class honors in mind, fail to discover
this new intellectual meteor. Then the question arose, and was quite
openly mooted, "Is he smart or just a plugger? " As if he knew our
thoughts, he unconsciously and in the simplest possible way,
solved the question straightway himself,
by shattering one horn of the dilemma.
He showed that he didn't devote his time
to lessons alone, by plunging into the
arduous undertaking of the class — and
at a time when prospects were dullest,
and by making good there too, he clearly
showed that the other horn of the di-
lemma was the only possible solution.
Therefore — or to quote a well-beloved
professor — hence our argument con-
cludes thus: he is a very smart young
man. We, his classmates, heartilj^ com-
mend him to the world in general.

Another of the illustrious sons of
St. Peter's parish of Dorchester, which
has brought so much renown to B. C. !
From the very start he displayed
great promise and diligence — in ath-
letics. He has ever shone brilliantly
at baseball and football, but his in-
inability to get down to weight kept
him out of track athletics. His great-
est laurels, however, are those which
he has acquired in the bowling alley.
In his Junior year he easily showed
his right to the title of " Mattapan
Champion." Incidentally he still retains his unblemished honors.
Among his classmates " Buster " has always been a general favorite.
Big-hearted and easy-going, the good-natured butt of the jokes of both
classmates and professors, he has more friends in the College
than many of the leading actors in college life. His calm
and even tenor of life has successfully defied the attempts
of the professors to " bawl him out " and as a result, those
who begin to roar at him like a lion usually conclude as
meekly as a lamb. If he can still retain this wonderful
power of self-control he has a brilliant future before him
— as a hen-pecked husband. When preferring not to recite
his lessons in psychology for reason externally evident, he
calmly suggests a note of 80 — which the class voted to give
him, but the sanction of the beadle not being forthcoming,
he got a naught of 80. Cross-questioning by our Ethics pro-
fessor brought out the fact that all his actions spring from
the highest kind of motives — no act of any kind ever being
placed without a positive previous act of pure love of God.

Upon entering College Barney was
the modest possessor of the title of
being the original and only bona fide
nero man in the class. For one cold,
wintry morn way back in 1909 the
papers chronicled the thrilling rescue
of a young skater of Newton Lower
Falls from an icy grave, by an un-
known, whom investigation proved to
be a certain 0. J. McGalligan of Bos-
ton College. Modesty and retirement
iiavc always been noticeable charac-
teristics of Owen and " serve as a
candle to his worth." Tiiat artistic talent that we now all know so well,
found its first lasting expression in the designing of the Golden Anni-
versai'y Seal of Boston College, which has been adojited as the seal
of the Class of 1913. To Owen must also be given the credit for the
cover design and name of our Year-Book, " Sub Turri." Many were
the titles suggested, but none seemed to possess the dignity, appropriate-
ness and originalitj' which characterizes the unanimous
choice of the Committee. Always a quiet, industrious
worker, his efforts to promote the interests of his class
had good results especially in the success of our Junior
Prom, held in our year for the first time in the Hotel
Somerset. As an orator his first and last appearance
before us will not be soon forgotten. At any rate, he
was the only speaker on that eventful day who was
mindful of some interested spectators of that wildly
interesting session, from across the way.

Augustus Michael McMahon, the

esteemed president saw fit to confer
the title of " Sage of Wilmington,"
was born in that town, June 15,
1891, and there received his Gram-
mar and High School education. As
the poet Gray says, he has " pursued
the even tenor of his way," joyfullj'
and gladly cooperating with the class
in its ventures and lending his assist-
ance wheresoever needed. His broad
knowledge of rural life, gained by experience, makes him a valuable
source of information on all such topics. He is a member of the Glee
Club where he sings to kill the time, and according to the concensus of
opinion he has a good weapon. As a heart smasher we believe Gus holds
a record. This deduction is, however, a very good example
of a priori reasoning, viz., given the cause, the effect must result. We
do not reach this conclusion from any multitude of cases observed.
Aside from his charm of manner — which we can readily see attracts
femininity to him, it is his utter indifference to them that we believe
makes them try the harder to ensnare this prize.

" Gus," as he is familiarly called, is a favorite among his com-
panions, and his genial and pleasing disposition makes for him a host
of friends. We regret the parting of the ways
which separates us from Gus, and trust that the
golden milestones of his future life may lead
ever through fields of happiness and joy.

Although 110 holiday has j'et been
(lechired because of the fact, Joseph
F. Moloney first saw the light of day
on the second day of March, 1890.
The early days of his life were passed
playing in the historic parks of South
Boston, and wading through the
studies in the elementary schools of
the peninsula district, to which Joe
bade adiew before he graduated to
enter the ancient and honorable Bos-
Ion Latin School. Here from the
start he rapidly ascended the ladder of fame. He soon became a
corporal in the school battalion — next a first sergeant-major, and
finally wore the stripes of regimental sergeant-major.
But military drill did not aflord all the laurels won by
Joe; he was some athlete, finding a position on several
all-scholastic elevens. Nor were all his efforts confined
to playing games, for he served on the Athletic Advisory
Board of that school as the student member. On
entering college, Joe, for a high motive banished his
ideas of fame as an athlete and turned to more serious
pursuits. Joe is rather out of the class of the rest of us —
in looks and in artistic sense — but we will excuse that,
he's so young. In the social affairs of the College he has
been some " traveler," quoting Newman as his authority
for the importance of sociability in college life.

Frank was a little late for the
fourth, in fact, he seems to be late
in very many things, but when he
does come we all are aware of it, for
he lias a way that is all his own. We
know what Frank means though, in
fact oftentimes he has been found
mean enough for anything, as many
of our number can testify who have
come in contact with his terrible
right. His one fault is that he is
quite talkative in class and is perhaps
the most garrulous chap in our midst.
For three seasons " Murph " has been a steady player on the diamond
for the Maroon and Gold, and has always been quite handy with the
hickory. The official scorer never had the opportunity to make mistakes
about Frank's average, for his devoted pupil, imitator, and admirer,
" Kid " Donovan always had it computed. Unfortunately his pitching
records were lost in oblivion while returning from the spring training
trip in Northern Vermont, but everybody says that his shoots can be
hit farther than " Smoky Joe's," and the upstate natives
especiallj' have never been known to deny it. From his
frequent and learned disputations on " Hash " during
the psychology hour, we had begun to think that Frank
had found a new brand of " sinkers " in a nearby
restaurant, that could give us more pleasant dreams
and memories; but we were doomed to disappointment, ^^- -.

for soon we found that instead of treating of this most &^^^S>^\
elevating subject, be was merely talking of such com-
monplace things as chemistry and pharmacy (farmacy)
and of course our interest immediately began to lag.
The future augurs nothing but good for Francis in his
chosen profession.

In the fall of 1909, two young fel-
lows left Peabody (some say for the
first time) to become enrolled in the
army that was gathering on James
Street. It seems that during the jour-
ney they must have forgotten the
name of the street, or else there must
have been a particular attraction
elsewhere, for we found them hope-
lessly wandering around Newton St.,
on that first memorable day in Sep-
tember.

One has left us, and now " Jim "
alone remains to uphold the honor
of his little village — hut the natives
need have no fear for " Jim " is much alive, when it comes to defend-
ing "the home of his fathers. His eloquent words will yet be heard in
the Legislature. At one time wc thought that " Jim " was training to
becoine a " white hope," and in great wonder and admiration did we
watch him go through his stunts with the punching-bag. He was
really good at this, and his one fault was a mere
lack of discretion. He broke the bladder so much
that the prefect of discipline came to know him,
and this is something to be avoided. In our
interclass meet " Jim " gained undying fame for his
powers in the high jump — we did not win the meet,
but " Jim's " leap enabled us to finish ahead of our
fi'iends, the Sophomores, who are still smarting
beneath the sting of a defeat in football.

according to Dame Rumor, do we
account for Bennett Joseph O'Brien,
known as the " Ty Cobb " of Boston

December 26, 1891. He received his
earl3' education in that town, and be-
ing graduated from the Quincy High
School, in 19(19. he entered Boston College the same year. It is said that
during his baby days he was a great boy for catching flies, and possibly
to this early training we can attribute his brilliant performances on
the diamond during his college days, upon which he has alwa^^s tried
to bring glory and renown to his Alma Mater. Nor have his activities
been confined to athletics alone, for guided
by the " Muses of the Crags," he has attained
special prominence as a poet and writer.
We are fortunate in having many men of
Bennett's stamp in our class. All are his
friends, and he is the friend of all. His great-

Class and College, and he goes forth into the

A hieed of praise for South Bos-

Edward Ignatius O'Brien, scientist,
waiter, philosopher, poet, conductor,
hook-agent, orator, linguist, connois-
seur of art, and leader in the social
whirl. In such a nohle character it
were difficult to find a flaw, yet we
who know him intimately are obliged
to say there is just one — a passion
for the dance. Fortunately his indul-
gence in this regard is limited by a
close application to literary work. He
conducts a column in the Boston Post under the " nom de plume" of
"Mildred Champagne." His longer epic poems and a metrical trans-
lation of " Hiawatha " into Italian are announced for publication in
the spring of 1915. Withal he finds much time to devote to his beloved
science, Phyiscs. Time was when Edward thundered his prelude,
" We scientists say," and men like Professor Phelan, grown
old in the study of science, would listen with admiration
to the erudite exposition of difficulties in the domain of
Physics. However, " we shall see about that later." At
present Edward is engaged in research work in the hope
of revealing to the world the solution of Jack Donovan's
famous problem: — "Can an incandescent lamp be used
for the same purpose as a hot-water bottle?"

Maurice J. O'Brien was born in
1891, so reads the record, not of the
police court, but of the " Increase in
Population Department." To peruse
the list casually there is nothing
astounding about that information,
but when we understand that the
M. J. O'Brien referred to is the mem-
ber of the Senior class at Boston
College, then the event marks a new
epoch in world history. It has been
affirmed by a microscopic inspection
of the left-hand corner of the nose,
that M. J. O'Brien liears a striking resemblance to the immortal
Napoleon. About his early history there seems to be nothing startling
except that he frequented the same apple yards as his predecessors.
Having occupied a seat for some time at the Hugh O'Brien School in
Roxbury, the powers decided that they needed the room and so
presented Maurice with a diploma in 1905. He passed through Boston
Latin School without any serious objection on the part of the faculty
and graduated with the renowned class of 1909.
But not until he entered Boston College did he
realize his own tremendous possibilities. En-
dowed with a magnetic personality and the
power of estimating men, he soon became a
prominent member of the class. Perhaps now
and then he was unable to attain his ambitions,
but his motto, " If defeated come back for an
encore," inspired him with new life and acci-
dentally some success. He is noteworthy as a
modest youth, but when an office is at stake, all
other matters are relegated to oblivion. What-
ever walk of life M. J. O'Brien enters, it is certain
that when the lesser lights have reached their
" zenith " of success, Maurice is sure to be their
peer.

On a blustering day of March, 1891,
Bud's melodious voice was heard for
the first time as he burst into a lusty
paen of joy at being born in the
hitherto quiet city of Cambridge,
Mass. After completing the course at
the Latin School there, he looked
around carefully for a college worthy
of his efl'orts and not too far removed
From Cambridge to prevent him pay-
ing frequent visits to his many
friends, not only in his home town
but also in the surrounding suburbs,

and finally decided to enter Boston w^ith the Class of '13. Since Bud's

arrival at College the rooms on the James Street side of the Franklin

Square House have been at a premium and Marenholz has been

obliged to turn away countless applicants for the room facing the

College. Although Bud himself would never mention the fact, he is,

nevertheless, one of the best athletes and his defensive playing for

the past three years has been a feature of

the work of the Varsity football team, to say

nothing of the fighting spirit he displayed on

both Class and Varsity basketball teams. In

order not disappoint his numerous friends

among the fair sex, the Class elected Bud to

the Junior Prom Committee, and needless to

say, he shone resplendent not only on that

occasion, but at every other class and social

activity, where his " ivory " smile has been

the cause of much admiration and envy.

The first time that " Doc " showed
any success in startling the world was
on August 3, 1891, when that particu-
lar section of this mundane sphere
known as Jamaica Plain was notified
in no uncertain tones that one
Francis Leo Phelan had arrived and
had begun kicking obstacles out of his
path to success. After due delibera-
tion, " Doc " decided to shine in the
intellectual firmament as a star of the
first magnitude. We say he did this
after due deliberation, for it is nearly
impossible to imagine him doing anything without due deliberation;
in fact, we expect one day to see him with the degree of D. D. (Doctor
of Deliberation). His early years were devoted to the practice of
becoming an intellectual sharp-shooter, (a sort of " shooting-star," as
it were) so that whenever a prize is hung up now, " Doc " levels his
trusty shotgun, and with one volley from the " Antecedent " barrel
and another from the " Consequent " he lays his game low. " Doc's "
aspirations run more to scholarship than to athletics, although we have
it on good authority that he was nearly inveigled at one time into
running a mile race with Sallaway. Be that as it may, " Doc " is
always " in the race," whether it is a question of running for an office
in the Fulton, or for the 8.27 " L " from Forest Hills. In addition
to working enough hours per day to keep him " honor man " in
the Class, " Doc " also finds time to debate and orate with con-
siderable success, besides holding to the satisfaction of all the
position of class beadle, in which he is a " plain, blunt man that
knows his friends, and that they know full well."

Armed with a new copy of the Pro

version — and a reputation wliicli, by
the way, has served him well in many
light places during these past four
years, Frank came back in 1909.
But lo! what lofty ideas this lad
had, and they grew as he grew! For
six years F. X. S. had gained a substantial purse in the Christian Doc-
trine contests, and spending this surpertluous coin he got an insight
into society and its extravagant ways. Nothing would please him then
until he had ensnared the entire class, and lo! in our Junior year, by
his eloquent descriptions of the splendor of " the upper ten " he pre-
vailed upon us to conduct our Prom in Hotel Somerset. The way he
guided our financial affairs made even the committee sit up and take
notice and they haven't yet ceased giving him credit. With a deter-
mination to go higher, he urged us to edit this, and under his splendid
supervision and our watchful eye, the work was accomplished. Fitting
victories they were to top off his many successes, for as an author and
lingo poet the Stylus readers are yet to see his equal, in versatility at
least. As a student he has taken all
the fun out of the victory for the
medal winner and as an orator he
has added considerably to the excite-
ment of several important contests,
prize and intei'collegiate, and as a
grind he is second to one. Taken all in
all, however, our honorable Editor-
in-Chief has done nobly and if he
persists in his persistencj^ as he has J
during the past few years, he is cer-
tain to make his name as memorable
in the sphere he selects as he has
in our College records.

do something better than its predecessors has been the aim of the
class of nineteen-fourteen. Progi'ess and originality are its standards.
Leadership among the classes of the College is the goal which it seeks,
and has attained.

Witness its first glorious victory when its Leo Murray, as a mere
stripling, carried away the palm of victorj' in the oratorical contest
from the choicest orators of the College. Then it was that it attracted
attention. But, wait! Witness, again, another victory in the Marquette
Prize Debate. Its Sullivan brought greater glory upon the class of
nineteen-fourteen by his powers of debate. Its Bari-y was another
competitor in this debate.

Led by the genial Dawson the first year of college saw the class
l^reemiinent in social affairs. First came a mosit successful dance
at Catholic Union Hall. A banquet at Riverbank Covirt demonstrated
that this class had the true college spirit. Its clever business agents.
Quirk and Desmond, at all times show remarkable ability in accom-
plishing things.

Of course, its Brennan, Doyle and Dawson must not be forgotten
on the roll of athletes.

Who has not heard of the boy wonder, Mackenzie? His name
is one of the proud boasts of nineteen-fourteen. It could hold up for
emulation the keen mathematical abilily of its Collins, its MacGrath;
it could point to the wonderful pen of its Sullivan, of its Taylor, its
McGrail; lastly, it could urge all to make the acquaintance of its good
fellows.

With such a notable beginning, who could place limits to the
future? As youngsters in the College our class had outstripped all
the others. But its youthful spirit was not to be impeded. Greater
honors it sought and obtained.

The second year saw the class of nineteen-fourteen contribute

four to the Marquette Prize Debate. Murray, Quirk, Collins, and Barry
were its defenders. Recall to your nnnds the second victory of Murray
in the Oratorical contest. Hickey, Hogan, and Quirk entered the
dramatic field as loyal members of nineteen-fourteen.

And again, Brennan, Hickey, and MacGrath rejyesented the class
upon the gridiron. All the lovers of style must model themselves after
the " Class of the Class," John Keohane. He is the " glass of fashion
and the mould of form." The baseball team contained the names of
Devlin and Stenson.

The second dance in Catholic Union Hall certainly was a notable
success. Dawson again led the class with an able committee among
whom may be mentioned Flaherty, " Tom " Devlin, and " Fred "
Doyle. The Lenox Hotel was the scene of the second banquet of
nineteen-fourteen. " Barney " McDonald was the master of affairs.
Notice the progress. Don't lose sight of the fact that the class of
nineteen-fourteen seeks after originality.

agpaa &ubQIurri

The delightful contributions of Sullivan, McGrail, Taylor and
McKenzie to the Stylus were not diminished in the second year. Barry
and Sullivan held the presidency of the Marquette Debating Society.
McLaughlin, " Tom " Devlin, Hogan, and Hickey were honored with
positions in this society. The close of the year saw Higgins claim the
purse of fiftj' dollars for an original essay on "The Humor of
Dickens." McKenzie showed himself a peerless scholar by winning a
majority of prizes. Hurley, Collins, Murray, " Frank " Doyle, and a
score of others were close competitors.

Many familiar faces were no longer seen when the class of
nineteen-fourteen started upon the third lap. The priesthood issued
its call. A new face was seen. Cogan appeared.

Now behold the value of progress. The wonderful Junior " Prom "
of the class of nineteen-fourteen was held at the Somerset Hotel on
January 30, 1913. Was it a success? Ask those who enjoyed that
pleasure. Call around and see any of the members of the class of
nineteen-fourteen, or other classes. Everybody is talking about it yet.

Nothing can stop Murray from winning medals. In his avarice
he annexed the Fulton Prize Medal. Sullivan was another of the
contributors of this class. Sullivan, Murray, and Sallaway are to
uphold the honor of the Fulton against Georgetown and Fordham.
Two members from the class of nineteen-fourteen. That's rather fine.

Philosophy has no terrors for this class. Murray, Keenan,
McKenzie, converse and carry on disputations on philosophical propo-
sitions in Latin. Think of that! Hurley, Fitzgerald, Joyce and
Sullivan are but a few more of these young philosophers.

Last of all, the beadle cannot be equalled. " Fred " Deasy has
been the guardian of the lists for the last two years. The jug book
has often told too plainly the story of his honesty and conscientious-
ness. Like Horatius at the bridge, " Fred " guards the absentee and
late lists.

A kind remembrance to our professors who have stimulated the
class in all its activities, social and intellectual.

Let this history not close until we mention the legion of good
fellows who, perhaps, have not burst the heavens with their flame,
but who plug on daily in noble efforts. Some advice to all. Get to
know the Class of 1914. Cultivate their acquaintance. It's worth your
while. They are all good fellows, true representatives of B. C. boys.

[Nineteen fifteen! For three years this slogan has been re-echoing
through the citj' of Boston. It was first sounded in the Cliamber of
Commerce. Our clamoring presses next adopted it and sent its hopeful
message into every corner of this vast land. It became universally
known as a sj'uonym for prosperity. The day that witnessed the
dawning of that year was to gaze upon a more extensive, a more
l)eautiful, and a commercially supreme Boston.

Hence it was that this charmed year gave all works that looked
to its advent for completion, a prestige and activity which was
peculiar to itself. Not even our schools escaped its influence. The
classes to graduate in 1915 became subsidised, as it were, by activity.
To this, the Freshman Class of nineteen-eleven, the largest that
had ever entered Boston College, bears testimony. Confident in its
strength, fortunate in its members, and spurred on by the omnipresent
" Forward," it immediately took an unprecedented position in college
life. There had been other Freshman Classes, but this one was so
different. Its presence was ever felt. It left no field of endeavor
untried, and no laurel was deemed too sacred for its brow.

It sent its Wennerberg into the field of
dramatics to present a highly commendable in-
terpretation of "Hotspur" (Henry IV). Its
Edward Farmer went up to the rostrum to over-
whelm his opponents with an array of insuper-
able arguments, while he hiinself, incidentally,
won the medal offered by the Marquette Debat-
ing Society. Its track team was the represent-
ativ team of the College. Nor was this the
end of its activity. The class of nineteen-fifteen
gave to the College football team, and was

^opl)oniorc Cla^s

proud in the giving, such excellent players as Linehan, Brandon,
Gavin, Gallaghei', Cunningham, and Mullen.

Keeping in mind Emerson's axiom, " Hitch your wagon to a star,"
the class elected as its president, John Walsh. A very effective one
he proved to be, and never for a moment was his ability questioned.
John, as you know, had frequently led his competitors a merry chase
in the old " gym," and now, through force of habit, he started his
administration at a " four-forty clip," while the rest of the class trailed
at his heels. Under his able guidance our ship of state rolled
buoyantly on, making but two stops on the voyage. The first, in order
that the crew niight brush off the tarnish of life in the enjoying of an
evening of pleasure spent with the fairest of the fair, " their sisters,"
aniidst the radiance of the ball-room. The second, that they inight
pledge anew their unswerving fidelity to College and to each other
at the annual Freshman Banquet.

The present scholastic year found us no longer Freshmen but
Sophomores in grade, slightly older in years, considerably advanced

g-ubSurrt Pa«pa2

in knowledge, and still endowed with a persistence which has con-
quered empires.

Mechanics, a punishment which all Sophomores niust undergo,
had taught us early in the year to figure to a nicety the amount of
additional energy required to start an engine after it had stopped.
Amazed at how much this amounted to in the daily run of a local
train, we determined that the present Sophomore class would make
no stops, but should ever be in progress. To ensure such advancement
the class elected the able and afl'able Edward Farmer to spur us on.
Frank Breath was elected to the office Avhich is second only to Mr.
Farmer's, Richard O'Brien was entrusted with the office of treasurer,
and Edward McLaughlin was elected secretary. With such men in,
office the class saw nothing but success before them.

The piece de resistance of the first term of Boston College social
life is the Sophomore dance. For one evening we tossed our
Demosthenes to an upper shelf, flung Tacitus to the winds and " tipped
the light fantastic" at Horticultural Hall. The recollection of the
pleasantry of that evening will remain long with us. Care and
anxiety were submitted to Nature's all-healing balm. Mirth, and
received from the contact an added impetus to go on and to achieve
honors in keejiing with those of the past.

In testimony of this, let me cite the recent presentation of
" Macbeth " bj' the College dramatic society. The intelligent and con-
scientious work of each member of that cast was deserving of high
praise, but especially so were the efforts of James Dowling as Lady
Macbeth and Frederick Wennerberg as Macbeth, both of the class
of nineteen-fifteen. Witnessing the performance that night, it actually
seemed as if the Macbeths had stepped out of the ages to hatch anew
their foul plots and do once more their bloody work upon the stage
of old Boston College. Let me also cite the recent success we achieved
in the field of " pro and con," when Frederick Wennerberg won the
medal offered by the Marquette Debating Society in its annual prize
debate. Francis X. McCabe, '15, president of the society, proved himself
an able chairman that evening. And last but not least, let the brawn
and sinew, which we once more gave to College activities, verify my
assertion. Leo McGovern and his relay team, composed entirely of
Sophomores, have set a high standard for future college teams.

The scholastic year of 1912-13 is fast waning. In but a few weeks
we shall be no longer Sophomores but Juniors. They who are now
Juniors will then be Seniors. Since our Sophomore days are nearly
spent, let us ask om-selves if we have lived. What is the test of living?
If he was right who said that the test of living is in working and acting,
then we of the class of nineteen-fifteen have lived.

THREE years ago 1913, two years ago 1914, one year
ago, 1915 was the class of importance in this College.
But in 1913, 1916 is the class that has the class.
Therefore all eyes and ears this way that ye that are
hlind may hear and ye that ai-e deaf may read of the
wonderful doings of this wonderful class. We are
a great class. Others tell us — we admit it. Our
ability, surpassing belief, is shown in every branch
of College activity. Only in the little Green jug do
we yield our supremacy and even that occasionally
in its afternoon fullness spurts forth a member of
Freshman A, B, or C. But then, it must be said, jug
is not an activity. It is, on the contrary, a state of
extreme passivity.

Did some one ask to be introduced? Right this
way, Sir. We really thought that everyone knew us, but then, for
the benefit of the great unwashed, the unterrified, we will submit our
most distinguished members to the humiliation of an introduction.
First of all we wish to present D. Francis Ryan upon whom was
imposed by unanimous conviction the sentence of wielding the gavel
upon all — no, not heads — but upon all occasions of solemn conclave.
It is true that Frank has no gavel; but when he delicately taps the
table with the tip of a piece of paper rolled to a cigarette finish the
desired effect is obtained. Frank is no bully nor much on size but
when he takes the chair it is with the attitude, " If j^ou want to see
who is BOSS round here — start something." He is right and we are
all with him.

The second victim of our generous unanimosity was Andrew
Ramisch : he of oratorical fame. " Andy " scarcely needs this intro-

What's that?

duction for everyone recalls the time he rode to fame on a " Dukite
Snake."

Leo Daley it was whom the class chose to fill the position of
Secretary. When we say that he is as good here as on the gridiron
well, NUF CED.

It fell to the lot of Charles Hurlej' to handle the funds in the
treasury'. Despite the lure of filthy lucre, the tempting taint of tar-
nished gold, " Buck's " reputation is unhlemished. As honest as
handsome and sweet is some compliment for his honor, the exchequer.

We have said we are active in all College doings. Here's the
proof. Where would the play have been without this gallant array
of Booths and Garricks? Hinchey, Hendricks, Mclnnis, Ryan, Atkinson,
Mahoney, Gillis, Feeney and Carney. Oh! And Taylor. "Dick", you
know, was that inebriated individual that played his part so well
that — well he almost landed in Station 5.

Where would the Marquette Debating Society be without the

agr35 SiubSurri

portly presence of James Democracy Carens? They would surely be
WITHOUT; for he keeps them in. His ponderosity adds great weight
to his seat. How dry and uninteresting would have been the Prize
Debate without Leander DeCelles — matchless wit, effusive poet,
archaic mythologist and brilliant dramatist? Bj^ the way, we are
privileged to announce that he is working on a new play: "Ten Knights
in a Bath Tub ". The author promises us a good, clean show.

What could the football team have done without Woods, " Buck "
Hurley, Leo Daley, Duffy, Kiley, Hcffernan, " Doc " Fleming, Frank
Rogers, Fallon and Conley. Many of these have something to show
for their enthusiasm; notably, Fallon and Fleming — You may see it
in their faces.

Where would tiie relay team have been without Halloran, Duffy
and Rowan. And yet these too, or is it three, were Freshmen. Fresh
at the start; fresh through the race, and fresh at the finish.

Not content with having won laurels for the College we wanted
a few all our own. So, always progressive, ever anxious to go ourselves
one better we organized a basketball and a hockey team. McManus
managed the former while Atkinson arranged a fine schedule for his
charges. Both these teams — Freshman teams — went through very
successful seasons bringing home more triumphs to the class of 1916.

And now our little tale is done. We have said our say. Not for
lack of things to say have we stopped, but because we have said enough
and are modest. Yes, modest. The only thing that we brag about is
the fact that we never brag. And yet have we not reason to boast?
Have we not in a single year shown our life and spirit; our brains as
well as brawn; our skill and our art? We have shown ourselves, 'tis
true; but not to the limit. Nor will another year show us to have
reached our zenith. No, it is our purpose to grow and expand, but
ever with Alma Mater's countersign — AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM
— before our eyes, and never to rest content until our work is done.
Our labors may take us far from Alma Mater. It has others: It will
us. But no matter what the distance that separates us we will ever
be loyal sons of a mother who teaches loyalty and ever will we strive
to do our best that later sons of Boston College may look for their
ideals and inspirations to the class of 1916 even as we look to those
who have gone before us.

Edwin A. Daley

RESHMAN year found us like every class here, before and after
us the largest in the history of the college.

To give you, gentle readers, an insight into the four years which
we, the class of 1913, have spent upon the good ship "Studiosus";
to give you a glimpse of our life upon the broad river of knowledge
in search of the Pierian springs; to picture to you the eddies, whirl-
pools, and rocky reefs towards which we have frequently been lured
by the song of the siren only to steer away and seek the broad and
open stream; to give to you some idea of the agonies whicli we have
suffered when our intellects became parched with their thirst for
knowledge, and also to disclose to j'ou the many pleasures and enjoy-
ments which were used as oil to still the troubled waters surging
around us, I shall unfold the story of those eventful days, gleaning my
knowledge from the log of that good ship which has borne us in safety
to our destination.

About the middle of September, 1909, we set sail upon our cruise.
Our vessel, like all Gaul, was divided into three parts, and carried a
motley throng of some ninety passengers gathered mostly from all
parts of Massachusetts, but containing a few who came from Rhode
Island and were willing to admit it. Aboard our ship were three
pilots, Fr. Maguire, S.J., Mr. Ignatius Cox, S.J., and Mr. David
Cronin, S.J., all equally skilful at the helm and each claimed by one
part of the ship as its own. Fr. Maquire having sailed before the
mast for many a year, insisted that the two most dangerous points
upon our journey, or anywhere upon the sea of life, were the Whiskey
Springs and the Champagne Whirlpools. He was a strong lover of
his native land and people and maintained that he never felt as safe
as when upon a vessel, manned by an Irish crew, conversing in Gaelic.

Mr. Cronin, likewise, had had some experience, but he maintained

agpSf g>uh®urrt

that in order to have a successful voj'age, we should work, work, and
then work. One of our passengers, Harry Kane, mutinied under the
orders of Mr. Cronin, but after considerable desultory warfare, it was
unanimously decided that Mr. Cronin was the victor.

Mr. Cox was making his maiden voyage aboard so large a ship,
and consequently spent his time in learning the old channels, at the
same time keeping a sharp look-out for new ones.

A meeting of the passengers was called at which we decided to
choose a president. James Daley was unanimously elected.

After being out of port about a month, Fr. Maguire ceased active
work and the ship was remodeled so as to contain only two parts;
the passengers were re-assigned to their respective places, one-half
of us claiming Mr. Cox for our pilot, and the other claiming Mr.
Cronin. We sighted the ship upon which the class of 1910 were
finishing their cruise, and having communicated with it, we were
invited aboard for a smoke-talk. There we met the classes of 1910,
1911, and 1912, and spent a most enjoyable evening, being highly
amused by the versatile entertainers of the class of 1910, especially
Coveney and Noonan. We clamored for a little excitement of our
own and after a few stormy meetings decided upon running a dance,
the committee for which was Daly — pardon me, I meant — duly
appointed. During these meetings, all windows were ordered open,
lest anyone should be prostrated by the hot air. After the meeting
Jett' Hagerty, the Pepperell strong man, was sent downstairs to box
the compass, and the compass won on points. He came up and
reported finding Sallaway running around the lower deck in a
gymnasium costume. Sallaway being questioned as to the reason
of this, replied that he was training for a mile race with Doc Phelan
to which he had been challenged but which unfortunately was never
held. It was the concensus of opinion, however, that neither of them
could run a mile. Our committee on banquets reported that we would
stop over at Riverbank Court on the evening of January 29th and
enjoy a banquet.

In our mad search for wisdom we paused long enough to take
aboard Fr. Doherty of Woodstock, who gave us our retreat, the first
for many of us. At the Marquette Prize Debate held during April,
Vincent Hickey was awarded the medal, and to him goes the honor
of being the only one in our class to M'in a pi'ize for debating during
our four years' journey. A baseball team was formed, which dis-
tinguished itself in its famous no-hit, no-run game with Lynn
Classical High School. A team chosen on its intellectual ability, how-
ever, as was ours, is not quite as efficient as one chosen on the ability

gjubSurri PagtSB

of the players. Our long-anticipated dance was held on the 12th of
May. Early in June Dick Kane, the man who made Fred Kimball
famous, gathered us around him in the cabin and bade us a sad
farewell. For provision he placed in a small boat the stock of knowl-
edge he had acquired during the year (Mr. Cronin says it would have
fitted in his watch-pocket without crowding the watch) and casting
away the line that held him to us, we soon left him behind. On
the sixteenth of June we stopped at the little town of Rest situated
on Tranquility Bay, and here our superiors told us we were to stay
till the following September, when we should re-embark upon our
journey. Loud cheers greeted this announcement, and yet we were
loath to separate from our fellow-passengers with whom we were
now all well acquainted. We had a vague feeling, also, that there
were some who would stroll too far from port and who would not
be found when we should re-embark. We gladly welcomed the
proffered respite from toil, however, and joj'fuUy scattered about in
search of happiness and enjoyment.

OPHOMORE Year found us re-assembled for our cruise on September
1.1. Our vessel had been overhauled and now consisted of one main
room under the command of Fr. Devlin, S. J. Many of our companions
of the former journey were conspicuous by their absence. Among
these were Tom Fitzgerald, Fred Foley, George Virgin, Leo Connolly,
Ted Lavin, Jeff Hagerty, Joe Gaynor, Fred Kimball, and a few others
who had strolled so far away that we can get no account of them. We
gathered together for a re-election of officers. Matt Duggan being
chosen president by acclamation.

The Rev. Fr. Cusick, than whom no better pilot ever trod the deck
of the " Studiosus," appeared upon the scene to teach us chemistry.
After telling us the grave dangers of experiments with hydrogen and
oxygen, and that whole classes had been killed performing them, he
proceeded to unite the two with another substance to form a white
light. The hydrogen hose broke and a lighted gas jet threatened ruin
to the cabin. His quick presence of mind saved us, and having re-
arranged his apparatus he announced that he would repeat the
experiment. The scramble that followed this statement would make
the rush hour in the Park Street subway look like a chess tournament.

We spoke the ship that bore the class of 1911 and were invited
aboard for a smoke-talk. There we met some men who had sailed
this self-same river some years before, and who now gave us some

J^agpga f-ubOIurrt

impressions about the great world beyond. We listened with pleasure
to James Dorsey, Timothy Murnane, and Hon. Joseph H. O'Neil.

Fr. Cusick determined to displaj' to the passengers what some of
us did not know about chemistry, and announced that a specimen
would be held in the main saloon. Some one would have to demon-
strate the blasting power of dynamite on brick to have any attention
from our visitors.

In a debate on the subject, "Did Hamlet delay?" the palm of
victory was awarded to Gannon over his competitors, Phelan,
Sallaway and Daley.

One of our passengers, Brennan, joined with Sullivan, '14, and
Barry, '14, to give battle to the Clark College cruiser. Arguments were
used for weapons, and Clark went down to defeat.

On January 17th we put ashore for our first college Home night.
All those who, under the maroon and golden banner of old B. C, had
traversed this broad stream before us, gathered together in one mighty
body and Alma Mater opened wide her arms and welcomed " Home "
with joy her returning sons. She rejoiced in the record they had
made in the annals of church and state for loyalty, for justice, for
civic integrity, and for true man-hood. To us, her younger sons, she
said, " Go ye and do likewise." Two weeks later at Riverbank Court
we enjoyed our sophomore banquet and there renewed the pleasures
we had experienced at our Freshmen banquet the j-ear before.

Fr. Devlin called all hands on deck and read a short passage from
Kennedy's Cicero. To show that great minds run in the same channels,
he then read twelve other papers written by passengers each containing
exactly the same words as Kennedy. How Kennedy could have ootten
his translations before ours were even written is something that has
always been a cause of wonderment to me.

Some one crowned Bill Flynn with a rubber which he promptly
hurled out a window. To print what Bill said on this occasion in a
Sunday school book would seriously hamper its sale. During the
excitement attending tliis assault on Bill, Bro. Workhard stepped on
a star-board tack and was carried below.

Tom Gannon assisted in defeating Fordham in our annual debate.

The Rev. Fr. Lane gave our retreat. At the close of the same,
our pilot got everybody on deck by turning in a still alarm that the
breakfast was on the house. The crowd dressed like Gus McMahon
making the 8:17 train for Wilmington. This was the last occasion on
which the house treated the crowd.

About the middle of June, we slowly steamed into the harbor of
Repose, dropped our anchors, and scattered abroad to come together
the following September and take up the third stage of our journey.

g-ubSurri Pagp Iflfl

UNIOR Year discovered nine vacant chairs at our table when we
first appeared for breakfast after resuming our journey on Sept-
ember 11. Dowd, Linehan, Shea, and Rivers had been enchanted by
the air and scenery of Brigliton, and had decided to tarry there for
a few years. Bill Fh'nn had been felled by the dart of Cupid as he
wandered through the streets of Lynn and thus ipso facto separated
himself from us. Joseph J. Fitzgerald had taken up civil engineering,
where on account of his extreme height he makes use of his own body
as a rod. Ryan and Sullivan continued their quest for knowledge in
other channels, and our old friend Pat Sherry decided to enter that
most abused — and justly so — profession of book-agent.

We had been out but a few days when we picked up a dory
containing Jim Kelly and Fred Brady who said they had just deserted
the good ship " Holy Cross." They were immediately introduced to
our new pilot, Rev. Fr. Jessup.

On account of his previous good work, Matthew Duggan was
unanimously elected our president for a second term. He immediately
took up the question of a Junior Prom., which was opposed by some,
notably Sallaway, but in favor of which Daley gave fifty-seven varieties
of reasons.

Our old friend, Mr. Kiehne, S.J., appeared again upon the scene
to teach us physics. He was considerably worried by the " ghost of
the violin," and spent some time searching around the cabin for that
funnj^ noise that sounded like a tuning fork to him. But like all true
ghosts " it was here, it was there, it was everywhere," and Mr. Kiehne
could not seem to locate it. To our physics course, however, is due
our finding out " that the tinie for one complete osculation depends
entirely on the circumstances." Overcome by this answer, Mr. Kiehne
stuck his elbow into a jar of water and the panic that followed made
a football scrimmage look like a procession of choir boys.

All hands received a holiday to welcome our distinguished
alumnus, William Cardinal O'Connell, and on March 19, a public
reception to him took place.

Jim Murray called us all on deck to see one of our small boats
rapidly drawing away. The roll was called and Dan Hurld was
discovered missing. All was soon clear to us. He had heard the song
of the Lorelei and had fallen a victim to her charms. As he finally
left our gaze he was rowing vigorously in the direction of Stoneham.

Our one grand social event of the season, the Junior Prom, was
held on April 12th. Disdaining all precedent, and desiring only the
comfort, ease, and enjoyment of our guests, our committee secured
the Somerset for the occasion. In brilliancy and numbers, our " Prom "
far surpassed all those that had preceded it, and we set a standard
up to which our successors can look for many a year to come. On

agflOl S'ubOIurrt

the first of May we heard some mention of a year-book and a committee
of three was appointed to look into the feasibilitj^ of tlie matter.

The question of a year-book, however, was completely over-
shadowed by the question of officers for the fourth and last year of
our cruise. Gannon was heralded as the logical candidate for presi-
dent, Sallaway was advocated on account of his work for the class,
while Brennan was proclaimed as the man with the watchword
*' Equality." The campaign that followed would make a democratic
caucus look like the jug-room on a holidaj'. Burke called a mass-
meeting of his colleagues on the port side of the vessel and it almost
turned turtle. " Trim the ship," roared our pilot, and Marty O'Connor
arose to remark that we were severely handicapped as Henderson
was the only dress-maker in the crowd. Gannon and Sallaway finally
made a dash for the chair, and Gannon squeezed in ahead.

In the Fulton debate we were represented bj^ Gannon; and in
the oratorical contest by Casey, Phelan, Sallaway, and Gannon.

Utterly fatigued by our exertions we dropped our anchors, and
sought once more the comforts and enjoyments of vacation.

In our astronomy class Brady tried to find the sun by the equator
method; Donovan hit him just below the equinoctial colure and
Doc Fitzgerald with the compass needle took seven stitches. In the
chemistry room, the passengers received a turkish bath for which
they had not paid and had no need. Truly did Shakcspere say
" Macbeth shall sleep no more," for he will alwaj^s be a living character
in our minds after this year's production. On January 30th we at-
tended the Junior Prom., which in grandeur and magnificence rivalled
our own the preceding year. To the Junior class we are deeply
indebted for the glorious reception they tendered to us on that
auspicious occasion.

At the Fulton debate we were again represented by Tom Gannon
and also bj' Frank Sallaway, Jack Casey acting as an alternate.

At the annual home night, we met the grads and grad-nots and
passed a pleasant evening in their companj\ Fr. Geoghan conducted
our annual retreat, for us the last as students of Boston College.

Now, dear reader, 1 have carried you close to the conclusion of
our four years' sojourn. The Pierian springs so long sought by us
appear almost within our grasp in the shape of an A.B. degree.
Beyond this point, a heavy veil of fog shuts oflf my vision. But every
cloud has its silver lining and so the keen eye of one of us has pierced
the filmy veil that separates us from the future. To our class pi'ophet,
therefore, do I humbly refer you if you desire to pursue further the
history of the Class of 1913.

Is, to be fair and rich in marbled halls

The only measure of our love for thee,
Or thy fair turrets, thrust into the skies.

The only subject of our hymn to thee?

Ah! No! Our Mother, tho' thy worth be known
In every clime, and through the world thy name

Be honored in the councils of the great,
And thy fair form be heralded by fame;

Our love is not for this, but for thy care.
That in our youthful minds thy precepts pure

Be firmly fixed, so, in life's fearful war.

Thou mightest know us guarded and secure.

Though devious be the paths our feet must tread.
Still, shall we prize the mem'ries of the past;

The joys of love, the benedictions sweet,

And happy hours, which time and change outlast.

And we, thy latest sons, shall guard the joy
Of all the golden days we've spent with thee;

We'll love the love that thou hast borne us, boundless.
As everlasting time and shoreless sea!

MONG the various college institutions, the monthly magazine is
probably the best known and of the greatest importance. The Boston
College Stylus has no\\' been in existence for nearly thirtj^ years, having
been originated in 1884. The first editor-in-chief was Dr. Eugene Mc-
Carthy, while intimately connected with him and aiding him with
their best efforts were Rev. F. A. Cunningham, '84, and Mr. Timothy
Coakley. It is always difficult to set forth ujjon its journey any new
enterprise of this nature; and the founders of the Stylus were not in
any way exempt from the general rule: thej^ met difficulties, and
many of them. But they faced them all and in a spirit of persevering
detei-mination they battled with every obstacle and were so far
successful that they placed the Stylus on a fairly strong foundation.
The so-called Stylus Association, that originated at the same time,
did much by mass meetings and other well directed efforts to give the
infant magazine publicity and to arouse the students and those in
any way interested in the college itself to a proper spirit of apprecia-
tion. The labors of these pioneers bore fruit and although the Stylus
received somewhat of a setback several years after its birth, due to
accumulation of adverse circumstances, yet on the whole it has
prospered exceedingly and today ranks well among the leaders in
college publications.

The Stylus serves a two-fold purpose: it acts as an aid and an
incentive to literary development among the students and has been
the only means of communication between the Alumni and the Under-
graduates. Its contents are varied and interesting: only the best
contributions being accepted, and these, too, must have passed a certain
standard. Brief, lyric poems, light, epigrammatic essays, short stories
and an occasional long, critical essay constitute the text of the average
monthly issue. The editorial columns. Alumni Acroama, Domi, Book

Review, Athletics, Exchanges, and Class Notes have alwaj's been in
capable hands and of excellent literaiy character.

Under the editorship of Thomas L. Gannon — the Stylus this year
has well maintained its traditions.

Matthew C. Duggan, '13, deserves great credit for his able perform-
ance of his arduous duties of business manager. The other members
of the present Senior Class who are members of the editing board are:

S far back as 1868, the spirits of Demosthenes, of Cicero, and of
Chrysostom, imbued the students of the college, and the " Senior
Debating Society " over which the late Rev. Fr. Fulton, S. J., first
presided, was its result. Under this name the Society continued its
work until November 7, 1890, when, acting upon the suggestion of the
Reverend Moderator, Mr. A. J. Mullan, S. J., the Society voted to be
known hencefortli as the Fulton Debating Society of Boston College.
A seal was chosen, and to Mr. P. J. Scanncll, '94, was entrusted the
work of engraving it. The design embodied " an eagle surmounting
a scroll and a shield containing the portrait of Rev. Fr. Fulton, sur-
mounted by a laurel wreath; the name of the Societj' at the base of
the scroll; the date of its foundation set in a rosette at the lower part
of the wreath, and the space between the upper portion and the arms
of the same fdled by the motto ' Par Pari ' ".

Every year since 1890, a prize debate has been held, and always
before large and appreciative audiences. The winners of these debates
have been :

1890 William A. Murphy 1902 Joseph A. Lennon

1891 Joseph C. Pelletier 1903 Philip F. Kennedy

1892 Daniel J. Gallagher 1904 William T. Miller

1893 John J. Douglass 1905 Edward J. Campbell

On December 29, 1890, in the College Hall, the members presented
the " Great Breach of Promise Case of Robson vs. Chawley ", acquitting
themselves with marked distinction. The fame of the Society grew
apace and its public debates became " red-letter events " in educa-
tional circles. A casual glance over the list of past judges reveals
among others of almost equal prominence, the names of His Eminence,
William Cardinal O'Connell, Hon. Frederick 0. Prince, Hon. Thomas
J. Gargan, Richard H. Dana, John Boyle O'Reilly, James Jeffrey Roche,
Gen. Francis A. Walker, Judge Joseph D. Fallon, Judge Robert Grant,

President E. H. Capen of Tufts, Jos. C. Pelletier, James J. Storrow,
Hon. David I. Walsh, Louis Frothingham, and many more whose
presence was indicative of the liigh rank which the Fulton held among
the organizations of Boston.

Of like interest with that of the prize debates, has been the
enthusiasm and zeal manifested in the intercollegiate debates with
Georgetown and Fordham. Although for a few years much of the
old-time spirit lay quiescent, the resumption of relations with George-
town and Fordham and the victories of the B. C. over both in 1910
and 1911 have brought the old " Par Pari " of the Fulton once again
to the fore. The laurels of the Society have been gleaned however,
not only from contests with these sister colleges, but also in the contest
with the Harvard Forum, which took place in the College Hall, on
March 24, 1898. Moreover, to show their willingness to defend their
reputation, the Fulton members at different times issued challenges
to Dartmouth, Williams, Maine, Colbj', Bowdoin, and other colleges.

The annual banquets of the Fulton, usually held during the
Christmas holidaj's, were also for some years a favored fixture, and
their lapse in recent times is a cause of regret which we hope to see
removed in the not distant future.

And now the Forum at University Heights beckons alluringly to
the embryo orators, the shadowy forms of Demosthenes and Cicero
hover like guardian genii over the rostrum and seats where, like the
senators of ancient Bome, the sages of succeeding centuries will
assemble to discuss the problems and shape the destiny of our country,
to perpetuate the glories of the past, and by their deeds to make the
Fulton of the future a credit to its traditions, to its founders, and to
the Mother under whose guidance it has reached its place of honor
among the debating societies of this country.

IGHTY oaks from littlo acorns grow " is an adage which can be most
l\iai)propriately applied to the growth and achievements of tlie Marquette
^Debating Society, lor tliis organization has arisen from an auxiliary
club of the Fulton Debating Society to the position of the junior
debating society of the college, with a record envied by many and
equalled by few societies of a similar grade.

The Marquette Society was founded in 1902 by the Rev. Redmond
J. Walsh, S. J., former professor and prefect of studies of our college,
to serve as an institution to accommodate those unable to gain admis-
sion in the Fulton Society. But as time passed on, conditions changed,
and the scope of the work of the Marquette Society changed, so that
in a few years it became the junior society for members of the fresh-
man and sophomore classes, and is now a society, the membership of
which is recognized by the two youngest classes with as nruch respect
as membership in the senior society is considered bj^ the two philosophy
classes.

Negotiations were entered into with Clark College of Worcester,
and as a result in 1910, a splendid and eloquent team, directed and
assisted by Mr. Cox, well represented the Marquette Society at
Worcester.

Success attended this first contest, and each j^ear since then, a
friendly yet hard fought battle has ensued between the two colleges.

For these past two years, the excellence of our junior debaters
has steadily increased, a fact due to a great extent to their moderator,
Mr. William F. McFadden, S. J., and the commendable work accom-
plished by the Society shows the interest and enthusiasm instilled by
the advice and encouragement of its present director.

With its annual prize debate and intercollegiate contest, the
Marquette Societ}' is fast advancing into the field of famous debating
societies and is gradualh' attaining that high standard of excellence
which its founder must have desired it to gain when he used his
influence towards its formation.

Its record speaks for itself, and admiration and congratulation
on its marvelous growth cannot be too abundantly offered its moder-
ators and members.

LTHOUGH well trained quartettes and soloists have been heard and
sometimes applauded within the college walls, we were never before
able to boast of a real, genuine glee club — and boast we maj^, for its
ajipearance at college socials and prize debates has always merited
and received only the highest praise.

Whether it was due to the manj^ harmonious choristers that were
forever bursting into songs or just his love of music that urged the
organizer of the club, Joseph H. Gildea, '13, of Newton, to form such
an organization matters not, but all that is necessary is to know that
Joseph notified the various classes of his hopes and aspirations and
then set about to attain them.

Earnest work has been done by the members of the Club since
the first days of its formation, and every eftort is being made to give
the friends of the college, wlien they visit us at our debates and socials,
the best in music and harmony.

At present the Club contains thirty-three men, including:

dramatics

BACK in the pioneer days of 1867 the first
Shakespearean play at Boston College was
enacted. In that year it was decided by those
in authority that the presentation of one of
the immortal plays by the students would be
a great aid to them in the study of literature.
And so " The Merchant of Venice " was chosen
and staged under the direction of the well-
beloved Father Fulton. The test proved of value and was followed the
next year by "Julius Caesar," then by "Richard III," and in 1870 by
" Coriolanus." Boston College had formed the habit of playing
Shakespeare and hopes never to break it.

Each year, with only a few exceptions at least, one of the plays
has been given. As a result of this policy fourteen of the plays have
been performed, and this is, as far as we know, a record for amateurs.
In fact we know of no professional record surpassing this save that
of the English actor, Ben Greet, who has prochiced twenty of the
plays. This comparison is fair, for while our College casts change
each year or two, all the fourteen plays have been given during the
time that Mr. Willis has been in chai'ge of our dramatics.

Of the forty-three Shakespearean pro-
ductions given from 1867 to 1912, " The Mer-
chant of Venice " and " Henry IV " have been
most often portrayed, each having been per-
formed seven times. " Richard III " comes next
with five representations. " Julius Caesar" and
" Macbeth " have been chosen each four times.
" Hamlet " was enacted three times, " Corio-
lanus," " Richard II," " King John," " Henrj"^ V,"
and " The Comedj' of Errors " were each given
twice, while " King Lear," " The Tempest,"
and " Twelfth Night " are recorded each with
one production.

Of course there have been occasions when
the play was repeated two or three nights in
succession — the foregoing list indicates only

ALAS Poor Yok/ck'.

g»ttb®urri Pagpl2n

the number of times that the several plays were selected for the
annual presentation.

It is not within the scope of this article to give anything like a
detailed account of dramatics at Boston College. There is not space
here, nor was the necessary historical data at hand to undertake such
a task. The writer has been asked only to set down a few facts and
a few thoughts which come to him during an experience of some j'ears
on our well-trodden stage. His time there has been spent more inside
the wings than before the foot-lights, but even in that retirement he
has not failed to appreciate the great benefit which comes to those
who take part in these plays.

To read one of these great works in the quiet of one's study is
helpful. To see it performed by well-trained actors is perhaps better.
But better still is the participation in the play itself, and this even
though the student's part consist only in shouting with the mob,
" Villains ! Traitors ! " or such like. It is necessary for the member
of the cast to attend rehearsals day after day. From the frequent
repetition he has memorized not only his own lines but those of many
of the others in the play. He has seen all the principles of elocution
exemplified. Under the guidance of a skilled director he has profited
by his own mistakes and by those of others. He has seen hidden
nreanings brought out and obscure passages made clear. He has seen
a great episode vitalized, while at the same time his mind has been
fdled with high thouglits and his ear attuned to the matchless majesty
of the lines. He has learned something of the choice of words. He
begins to know the use of imagery. He acquires a certain sense of
harmony in sentence structure. He is impressed by the vigor of
thought and the beauty of expression. His interest in the high class
of dramas is stimulated. His ambition to become a good speaker is
aroused. How many a graduate of Boston College who is today an
orator of recognized ability may attribute the beginning of his faculty
of speech to his college days when he

" Did enact Julius Caesar and was accounted a good actor."

As I write I have before me the record books of The Boston
College Athenaeum. This was a dramatic society formed in 1891. The
book contains the minutes of one hundred meetings during the yeai's
from March 23, 1891, to May, 1894. Just one hundred meetings and
then, though it was a splendid organization " it stopped short, never
to go again," — wherefore I know not. I can only regret that such a
useful society has not a place among the few organizations which are
so fruitful of good to the students at our Alma Mater.

In its methods The Athenaeum was very similar to its debating
societies. These latter devote their time to the science of debate, their
public appearance being in a prize debate. The object of the former
was to study the drama and to prepare for the annual play. At each

a g p 12 1

of the weekly meetings some member who had
been previously appointed read an essaj' on the
play under consideration, or on some particular
scene or character of the play. Four or five
members who had also been appointed two
weeks previously would then enact one of the
scenes. A stage-manager was chosen for each
meeting and also a critic.

Any notice of Boston College Dramatics,
however brief, would be incomplete without a
reference to Mr. Joseph H. Willis of the Class of
1890. As student and teacher he has had an
experience of twenty-eight years on our stage.

In his student days Mr. Willis played Bassanio in that memorable
production of '85. Later he won fame as King Robert of Sicilj' and
as a crown for his student efforts he played the greatest of all — Hamlet.

His many years of study of the classical drama, together with his
intense dramatic power, have made him an ideal instructor. Had he
chosen the stage as ills profession he might easily have rivalled the
leaders of the art in America. But he has remained at his Alma Mater,
giving to her sons the benefits of his splendid abilities. Those who
have played under his direction know him as the tireless worker, the
finished actor, the kind friend. They admire him for his fine talent,
they love him for his charming personality.

Of course there were plaj^s other than those of Shakespeare given
at the College. The first of these was Handy Andy, produced in 1870.
Among other plays were William Tell, Sebastian the Martyr, Rob Roy,
Guy Mannering, The School for Scandal, The Rivals, and The Fool's
Bauble.

French plays have not been wanting. In 1901 L' Academic
Fran9aise under the direction of Professor Moreira enacted Les
Enfants d' Edouard, a play which bj^ reason of its metrical structure
is not often attempted by English-speaking students. Coming down
to more immediate times four French plays were staged by Father
De Butler. These were Les Memoires du Diable, Brouilles Depuis
Wagram, L' Avocat Patelin, and Le Medicin Malgre Lui. The first of
these Avas given by the College students only, and the three last by
the High School boys among whom were several from the classes of
First Year French. This fact becomes more remarkable when we
consider the excellence of the performances, for they were of a very
high order. Father De Butler is not easily satisfied. With him it is
" Tout bein, on rein," and that is why people well acquainted with the
French drama have written to tell him of the great delight they took
in the performance of his boys.

The writer has knowledge of only one play ever attempted in

ubEurrt ^ a gs 1 2 2

German and this was William Tell. The Class of '72 gave this play
in English, but it was left for the Class of 1910 to try it in the language
of Schiller. This was in 1907. Certain scenes were given a private
production, and those who saw the piece said that the lines were
" well spoken, with good accent and good discretion."

Oh yes, let us cling to our Shakespeare. Nothing can take its
place. But it is the dawn of a new day. Increased opportunity is at
hand. Boston College has outgrown her old home. " The mast and
wheel " are no longer at her door. She has won the " lawn and
woodland dell " which the Poet of the Class of '80 spoke of with some-
thing like prophecy.

Now may our actors when the weather is fine practice in the clear
open air of University Heights and so improve their voices. And
wlw should they not set their scene there on the greensward, so that
some sunny afternoon in the early summer we maj' all go out to The
Heights and sec " As You Like It " played where Arden Forest will be
real trees and where the illumination will be the sunlight sifting down
through the leaves or Hashing back from the bosom of the lake. Or
perhaps the Freshnien in that same beautiful setting will favor us
with a performance of Duo Captivi as it was done in the time of
Plautus, or the Sophomores give us an opportunity to see the Oedipus
Tyranus or Agamemnon in the original Greek. Why should we not
have something of this sort? Heretofore the opportunity has been
lacking, but now it has come. Colleges that do not spend half the
serious effort on Greek that we at Boston College do have enacted
the Greek dramas.

I offer this suggestion not in the hope that a Greek play if well
presented would purchase for us golden opinions for scholarship.
It would, but that is of secondary importance. The scholarship itself
conies first. We have it already — let us improve upon it. The
thorough understanding of the Greek text, the commitment of the lines
to memory, the intelligent reading of them with proper and precise
enunciation — all these things mean mental culture and that is what
we want. I am not defending a thesis on the value of Latin or Greek
in education, but only expressing a hope that new opportunities will
awaken within us the desire to improve them.

N the early days of the Society of Jesus, a young Jesuit from
Belgium, John Leon by name, was sent to teach in the Roman College,
which was the principal college of the Society. He was a man of great
holiness, and filled wilii a profoimd devotion to the Immaculate Mother
of (lod. It was in the early days of the sixteentii century when the
Church was suffering cruel persecution and the faith of men was sorely
shaken. To promote iier iionor, to inspire devotion, and to implore
the protection of the Queen of Heaven the young man began to assemble
his students, and with prayer and hymns pay homage to Mary. The
effects were soon shown. The boys became the most exemplaiy in
the college and attracted the most favorable attention. The next year
the Sodality numl)ered seventy and rules were formulated to govern
it. From that time its growtii was rapid, and it s])read among the
students of all the Jesuit colleges of Europe. In l.oSl, Pope Gregory
XVIII at the petition of the Jesuit Ceneral gave it tiie sanction of the
Church, and established the one in Rome as the First Primary, the
Mother Sodality of the world.

As the years went by, the Sodality ])assed beyond the Ijounds of
the university to the universal church. From then until the present,
in every Jesuit college, large or small, in the old world and in the new,
it has been the chief, the tvjjical society, and thousands upon thousands
of men, many the most illustrious in Church and Slate, have enrolled
themselves beneath its stainless standard.

True to the standards of the Order in the year 1868, when the
newly established college at Boston was struggling for its existence,
a sodality was founded and affiliated with the First Primary in Rome,
under the title of the Immaculate Conception, and under the patronage
of the gentle St. Stanislaus Kostka. While other societies of the
college have had their periods of ditficulty and even oblivion the
Sodality has never suffered a check. The Immaculate Mother has
guarded her sons.

The purpose of the Sodality is to arouse and foster in the souls of
its members a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and to encourage
more than ordinary goodness among the students. The noble efforts
of Sodalists in the past to live up to this high ideal, and the faithfulness
of the Virgin, most faithful to those who have become " specialiter
mancipatis ", is the secret of the success and the spread of the Sodality.

^nig|)ts of Ci)c 33lesseti Sacrament

" I found Him in the shining of tlic stars,
I marked Him in tlie flowering of the fields,
But in His ways with men I found Him not."

HE bold Sir Beviderc heard these moanings from the tent of the great
King Arthur just before the "last weird battle of the West."

Arthur was discouraged; many of his tried and trusted knights
had failed him and his heart was well-nigh broken ere he fought his
last great fight. Arthur's Knights are gone and the Bound Table is
no more, but Arthur's cause still lives, and the Bound Table is replaced
by the Holy Banquet Table, where hundreds of thousands gather today
and learn the spirit of eternal knighthood.

It was to serve this cause, to preserve this spirit of knightly
purity, to stand in the courts of the King, as faithful attendants at the
Great Banquet Table, that sixty yoimg men of Boston College, on the
feast of Corpus Cliristi, 1911, assembled in the Sodality chapel and
for the first time pledged their word to join Christ's Knighthood and
to receive Him in Holy Conmiunion at least once a week. Thus in
silence and lowliness the " Knights of the Blessed Sacrament " were
born.

The sequel of this lowly beginning was seen on the feast of All
Saints, 1912. In the upper church seven hundred boj's of the College
and High School met at the Eucharistic Banquet, and from seven
hundrecl youthful hearts went up the prayer:

" We come before Thee, dear Jesus, to promise lifelong fealty and
devotion to Thy sacred cause and ask admission to the bodyguard of
devoted Knights who guard Thy altar throne."

The prosperity of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament is a fair
index of the ideals of Boston College boys, and of the great work of
spiritual upbuilding and interior sanctiflcation going on in their
hearts. The idea has spread abroad; it has taken root in St. Francis
Xavier College, New York. Thence it has spread to many parochial
schools of the citJ^ B. C, however, will ever be regarded as the cradle
of this inspiring and uplifting knighthood.

Men are prone in these days to look for God in Nature, in the
" shining of the stars," nay, even to deny that God is in the heavens
and that the heavens themselves tell of His glory. " In His ways with
men, they find Him not." The Knights of the Blessed Sacrament are
living examples of the truth that " In His ways with men Christ can
be found," indeed it is His delight to " be with the children of men."

HE Varsity team of 1909, under the leadership of Captain Pierce,
passed through a very successful season. Dr. Maguire's coaching was
of the liighest order and a well-hahinced team was the result.

The season of 1910 marked the renewal of athletic relations with
Holy Cross on the gridiron. The Worcester boj's had a great advan-
tage in weight, hut we were saved from a " whitewash " bj' Leonard's
clever goal from the field. The team suffered a great loss when
Captain Ed. Hartigan left for West Point.

Jack Hartigan's 1911 team was one of the scrappiest ever turned
out at James Street. The Holy Cross game was a very bitter contest.
The score was 12 to 0, with us at the short end, but this did not show
the real story of the contest.

The following week the team ^^ journeyed to Maine and

held the strong Colby
eleven scoreless for
three periods. They
only succeeded in
wresting the game from
us when our lighter
team was completely
exhausted.

The next year Har-
tigan was again chosen
We were handicapped

to lead the team

from the start by injuries sustained bj'
several of our best men. Coach Joy
worked untiringly, and the fact that the
eleven finished up strong may be at-
tributed for the most part to his efforts
in their behalf.

The prospec/ts
for a good team in
1913 are better
than ever before,
as only two men
are lost by gradu-
ation. We look for-
ward with confi-
dence to a team
superior to any
that has worn the
maroon and gold.

1910
ITH but thi-ee men back from the 1909 team, the prospects for a good
team were not over-bright. The nine was strengthened, however, by
the acquisition of Harrington and Mahoney from Holy Cross and by
the development of several promising men from the lower classes.
The sole representative of the Senior class was " Bud " Ryan, who
captained and played center field on the team — Junior, Sophomore,
and Freshman were fairly evenly represented, with the last two named
having two men each and Junior having three players from her ranks
on the nine.

Harrington bore the brunt of the work in the box and the success
of the team was due in no small measure to his all-around efTiciency.
Falvey, a hitherto unknown quantity, proved to be a capable catcher.

Mahoney covered first base, and Donahue, Lowe, and Murphy
completed the infield. McDonald, Mclntyre, and Ryan filled the out-
field positions. The team played fifteen games during the season and
was the winner in twelve of these. David B. Waters managed the nine.

1911

Unlike the 1910 team, that of 1911 was composed almost entirely
of veterans, having a nucleus of six former players around which to
build up a nine. The new men on the team were Halligan and
Donovan in the infield and O'Brien in the outfield; of the 1910 team,
McDonald, Falvey, Han-ington, Lowe, Mahoney, and Murphy still
remained in College.

#ub®urri ^PaSf 130

Harrington proved to be ffilly as successful during this season
as he had been the year before, while Lowe, who had played shortstop
on the 1910 team, also proved to be a reliable pitcher. Falvey again
caught and his ett'ective throwing made base-stealing hazardous for
his opponents.

Captain Mahoney was in his old position at first base, Donovan
and Halligan covered second base and shortstop respectively, while
McDonald, who was shifted from the outfield, filled in at third base.

The outfield consisted of Miu'phy in left, O'Brien in center, and
either Lowe, Harrington, or Butler in right field.

During the season the team was successful in ten of the sixteen
games jjlayed. Raymond Lyons was manager of the nine.

1913

The outlook for 1913 seems to be very promising. After defeating
Tufts 8 to in a practice game, the first scheduled game of the season
was lost 1 to to Exeter. The last two games, however, against Colby
and St. Michael's College, have been easy victories.

Outside of the pitching department, where neither Woods nor
Halloran measures up to the standard set by Harrington, the team is
fully as strong as those of recent years. The outfield in particular,
with Larry Conley in left, Linehan in center, and Captain Murphy in
right field, is very fast and has compared very creditably with those
of our opponents.

In the infield, the work of Bob Conley, at third base, has been a
feature of the early games, and his playing has been ably seconded
by McDonald, Mauley, Barry, and O'Day, the first two named alternat-
ing at shortstop, Barry playing second, and O'Day first base.

Nelson, besides being a clever catcher, is a consistent hitter, and
his extra-base drives have contributed materially to the first two
victories of the season.

Francis A. Burke is manager of the nine.

FTPjR meeting some of the best colleges in the country during the past
indoor season, the track team of 1912-1913 finished its work witli a
credilaljle record tliat gives great promise for tlie future. Entered
in practically every important local meet by its manager, Irving J.
§:^ Heatii, '13, of East Boston, the team, even though composed of only
freshmen and sopiiomores, carried out its part of the program in a
praiseworthy manner, whetiier ijringing home victory or succumbing
to defeat only after a closely-contested struggle.

Perhaps the stellar event of the track season was the annual
indoor meet held last February under the auspices of the College
in the " James Street Gym." A more carefully prepared and system-
aticalty conducted affair could not be desired. Nor were our own
men wanting in the final tally, for almost every event saw the maroon
and gold strijjed jersey among the leaders.

Among the runners who represented the College during the year,
great credit is due the captain, Leo M. McGovern, '15, of Brighton,
who proved himself to be a helpful assistant to Coach Duffey, Daniel
Sullivan, and James Duit'y, who gained places in nearly everj^ local
meet of the past winter. John J. Walsh, Harold Rowen and Leo M.
Halloren showed themselves to be among the speediest members of
the squad and thus won places on the relay team.

But all the good work would not have been accomplished but for
the earnest and conscientious training given the men by Arthur F.
Dufl'ey, the former world's champion sprinter, and the energetic and
entliusiastic managing of Irving J. Heath, who not only saw that the
College was fittingly represented at the various meets, but who also
headed the committee in charge of our own indoor meet.

Great results for future years are looked for by the many admirers
of track, athletics, and hopes to see Boston once more take her place
among the prominent colleges of the country in this particular line
of endeavor are held by all.

BSaslietball

HE last basketball team to represent the College was in 1910-11. Most
probablj' this was the last team that will represent the Maroon and
Gold in the indoor game and its record was the equal of any that have
worn the colors of B. C. Although defeated by narrow margins in
the two opening games, that were played on strange floors with Tech
and Tufts respectively, the five found itself later in the season, and
scored decisive victories over Gushing and Andover, displaying fast
form in these and in all the subsequent games. The season's record
was more noteworthy since the team did not have the gymnasium
facilities that were enjoyed by all its opponents, but was obliged to
restrict its practice to two short afternoons a week in one of the
municipal gynis. However, bright prospects were in sight for the
next year, but the sport became unpopular among the Eastern colleges,
and at B. C. it also became a victim of the waning interest.

The team was captained by "Matt" Duggan, and the success that
it experienced during the season was due in no small degree to his
accurate shooting, generalship and all-around ability. Without a
doubt " Matt " was the fastest player we ever had at B. C.

The last Varsity team consisted of Captain Duggan, Gallagher,
Hartigan, Haskell, I. Heath, L. Heath, and O'Connor; Geo. Fitzgerald,
manager.

In the open field by the open sea In the open field by the open sea

The maple waved like a flame of gold, The maple groaned in the blinding storm.

And down on the brown grass tenderly And the death-chill, biting crnelly,
Its million trembling tribntes tolled. Withered the angry surge's foam.

On the little red house the woodbine burned. On the little red house the snow fell down.

And the little pale child was smiling. And the little pale child was weeping.

In the open field by the open sea

The maple stands like an emerald pile.
And down in the green grass wondrously

The bashful, blue-veined violets smile.
On the long, low hill the breezes sigh.
Where the little pale child is sleeping.
